Gene name Deleted in azoospermia 2
Gene symbol DAZ2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
pDP1678
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
