About This Section

EntrezGene summary for VCY1B:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of human VCX/Y genes. This gene family has
multiple members on both X and Y chromosomes, and all are expressed exclusively in male germ
cells. Members of the VCX/Y family 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. VCX/Y genes encode small and highly charged proteins of unknown function. This gene
encodes a small, positively charged protein. The presence of a putative bipartite nuclear
localization signal suggests that this gene encodes a nuclear protein. The genome has two
identical copies of this gene within a palindromic region; this record represents the more
telomeric copy. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VCY1_HUMAN, O14598
Function: May mediate a process in spermatogenesis or may play a role in sex ratio distortion
