TEX12
Function
Component of the transverse central element of synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase (By similarity). Requires SYCP1 in order to be incorporated into the central element (By similarity).
Tissue Specificity
Testis specific.
Cellular localization
- Chromosome
- In prophase I stage of meiosis, localizes in the transverse central elements of the central region between lateral elements of the synaptonemal complexes. Found only where the chromosome cores are synapsed.
