Summaries for DAZL Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for DAZL Gene

  • The DAZ (Deleted in AZoospermia) gene family encodes potential RNA binding proteins that are expressed in prenatal and postnatal germ cells of males and females. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of fetal germ cells and to the cytoplasm of developing oocytes. In the testis, this protein is localized to the nucleus of spermatogonia but relocates to the cytoplasm during meiosis where it persists in spermatids and spermatozoa. Transposition and amplification of this autosomal gene during primate evolution gave rise to the DAZ gene cluster on the Y chromosome. Mutations in this gene have been linked to severe spermatogenic failure and infertility in males. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

GeneCards Summary for DAZL Gene

DAZL (Deleted In Azoospermia Like) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with DAZL include Azoospermia and Infertility. Among its related pathways are Ovarian Infertility Genes and Translational Control. GO annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and RNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is DAZ1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for DAZL Gene

  • RNA-binding protein, which is essential for gametogenesis in both males and females. Plays a central role during spermatogenesis. Acts by binding to the 3-UTR of mRNA, specifically recognizing GUU triplets, and thereby regulating the translation of key transcripts (By similarity).
