Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 83893
Gene name Spermatogenesis associated 16
Gene symbol SPATA16
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
NYD-SP12SPGF6
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q26.31
Summary This gene encodes a testis-specific protein that belongs to the tetratricopeptide repeat-like superfamily. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi apparatus and may play a role in spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
