Function

Structure

contains 1 RRM domain (RNA recognition motif)

Compartment

nucleus

Expression

  • testis-specific
  • expressed in all of the transcriptionally active stages of germ cell development from spermatogonia through spermatocytes to round spermatids

Genetics

  • the RBMY1 proteins are encoded by strongly repeated regions of the Y chromosome, mostly within the AZFb region
  • the exact number of functional copies is unclear & may vary between individuals, & some of them may represent pseudogenes
  • the proteins are very similar, which makes their indidual characterization difficult
  • thus, most experiments do not discriminate between the different members
  • reported interactions with a RBMY1 protein likely involve all the proteins
