Protein

• UniProt ID: A8MW99
• Protein name: Meiosis-specific protein MEI4
• Protein function: Required for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation in unsynapsed regions during meiotic recombination. Probably acts by forming a complex with IHO1 and REC114, which activates DSBs formation in unsynapsed regions, an essential step to ensure
