Entrez ID 1617
Gene name Deleted in azoospermia 1
Gene symbol DAZ1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DAZSPGY
Chromosome Y
Chromosome location Yq11.223
Summary This gene is a member of the DAZ gene family and is a candidate for the human Y-chromosomal azoospermia factor (AZF). Its expression is restricted to premeiotic germ cells, particularly in spermatogonia. It encodes an RNA-binding protein that is important

Protein name Deleted in azoospermia protein 1
Protein function RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in spermatogenesis. May act by binding to the 3'-UTR of mRNAs and regulating their translation. Promotes germ-cell progression to meiosis and formation of haploid germ cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1
