Predicted to be involved in homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; meiotic DNA double-strand break formation involved in reciprocal meiotic recombination; and positive regulation of meiotic DNA double-strand break formation. Predicted to be located in chromatin.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a protein containing multiple ankyrin repeats. Ankyrin domains function in protein-protein interactions in a variety of cellular processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with a Rett syndrome (RTT)-like phenotype. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
