[3] The protein encoded by this gene is found only in testicular tissue and may be involved in spermatogenesis.

Approximately 35 copies of this gene are present in humans, but only a single, nonfunctional orthologous gene is found in mice.

Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

[4] The protein is strongly overexpressed in gonadoblastoma.
