GMCL1P1 Gene

germ cell-less, spermatogenesis associated 1 pseudogene 1

This locus shares a high degree of identity with the multi-exon germ cell-less gene on chromosome 2. Despite its single-exon nature, this chromosome 5 locus contains an open reading frame that could putatively encode a full-length germ cell-less related protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GMCL1P2 Gene

germ cell-less, spermatogenesis associated 1 pseudogene 2

MGCT Gene

male germ cell tumor

LOC644070 Gene

putative germ cell-specific gene 1-like protein 2

Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

GSG2 Gene

germ cell associated 2 (haspin)

Enables ATP binding activity and histone H3T3 kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including mitotic sister chromatid cohesion; mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint signaling; and protein localization to chromosome, centromeric region. Located in centrosome; nucleoplasm; and spindle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

GSG1 Gene

germ cell associated 1

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase binding activity. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

TGCT1 Gene

testicular germ cell tumor susceptibility 1

MAK Gene

male germ cell-associated kinase

The product of this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase related to kinases involved in cell cycle regulation. Studies of the mouse and rat homologs have localized the kinase to the chromosomes during meiosis in spermatogenesis, specifically to the synaptonemal complex that exists while homologous chromosomes are paired. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ciliary defects resulting in retinitis pigmentosa 62. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

GMCL1 Gene

germ cell-less, spermatogenesis associated 1

This gene encodes a nuclear envelope protein that appears to be involved in spermatogenesis, either directly or by influencing genes that play a more direct role in the process. This multi-exon locus is the homolog of the mouse and drosophila germ cell-less gene but the human genome also contains a single-exon locus on chromosome 5 that contains an open reading frame capable of encoding a highly-related protein.

ALPG Gene

alkaline phosphatase, germ cell

There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue non-specific). The product of this gene is a membrane bound glycosylated enzyme, localized to testis, thymus and certain germ cell tumors, that is closely related to both the placental and intestinal forms of alkaline phosphatase.

GMCL2 Gene

germ cell-less 2, spermatogenesis associated

This locus shares a high degree of identity with the multi-exon germ cell-less gene on chromosome 2. Despite its single-exon nature, this chromosome 5 locus contains an open reading frame that could putatively encode a full-length germ cell-less related protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GCNA Gene

germ cell nuclear acidic peptidase

Enables SUMO polymer binding activity. Involved in protein-DNA covalent cross-linking repair. Located in PML body. Implicated in X-linked spermatogenic failure 4. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
