BPY2

Testis-specific basic protein Y 2 also known as basic charge, Y-linked 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the BPY2 gene which resides on the is_associated_with::Y chromosome.

Function
This gene is located in the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome, and expressed specifically in is_associated_with::testis. The encoded protein interacts with ubiquitin protein ligase E3A and may be involved in male is_associated_with::germ cell development and male infertility. Three nearly identical copies of this gene exist on chromosome Y; two copies are part of a palindromic region. This record represents the copy outside of the palidromic region.
