About This Section

EntrezGene summary for VCX3B:
This gene belongs to the VCX/Y gene family, which has multiple members on both X and Y chromosomes,
and all are expressed exclusively in male germ cells. The X-linked members are clustered on
chromosome Xp22 and Y-linked members are two identical copies of the gene within a palindromic
region on Yq11. The family members share a high degree of sequence identity, with the exception
that a 30-bp unit is tandemly repeated in X-linked members but occurs only once in Y-linked
members. The VCX gene cluster is polymorphic in terms of copy number; different individuals may
have a different number of VCX genes. VCX/Y genes encode small and highly charged proteins of
unknown function. The presence of a putative bipartite nuclear localization signal suggests that
VCX/Y members are nuclear proteins. This gene contains 11 repeats of the 30-bp unit. [provided by
RefSeq]
