DSCC1 Gene

DNA replication and sister chromatid cohesion 1

CHTF18 (MIM 613201), CHTF8 (MIM 613202), and DSCC1 are components of an alternative replication factor C (RFC) (see MIM 600404) complex that loads PCNA (MIM 176740) onto DNA during S phase of the cell cycle (Merkle et al., 2003 [PubMed 12766176]; Bermudez et al., 2003 [PubMed 12930902]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2009]

MAU2 Gene

MAU2 sister chromatid cohesion factor

Enables cohesin loader activity. Involved in maintenance of mitotic sister chromatid cohesion. Located in chromatin and nuclear body. Part of Scc2-Scc4 cohesin loading complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

ESCO1 Gene

establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 1

Enables identical protein binding activity; peptide-lysine-N-acetyltransferase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in peptidyl-lysine acetylation; post-translational protein acetylation; and regulation of DNA replication. Located in chromatin. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

ESCO2 Gene

establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2

This gene encodes a protein that may have acetyltransferase activity and may be required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during the S phase of mitosis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Roberts syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ECM2 Gene

extracellular matrix protein 2, female organ and adipocyte specific

ECM2 encodes extracellular matrix protein 2, so named because it shares extensive similarity with known extracelluar matrix proteins. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

MEIOB Gene

meiosis specific with OB domains

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; single-stranded DNA 3'-5' DNA exonuclease activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; fertilization; and meiotic nuclear division. Located in nucleus. Implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency and spermatogenic failure 22. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MEIG1 Gene

meiosis/spermiogenesis associated 1

Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within manchette assembly and protein localization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and manchette. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MNS1 Gene

meiosis-specific nuclear structural 1

This gene encodes a protein highly similar to the mouse meiosis-specific nuclear structural 1 protein. The mouse protein was shown to be expressed at the pachytene stage during spermatogenesis and may function as a nuclear skeletal protein to regulate nuclear morphology during meiosis.

MEI1 Gene

meiosis inhibitor 1

Predicted to be involved in meiosis I. Predicted to act upstream of or within germ cell development; meiotic nuclear division; and meiotic spindle organization. Implicated in gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

M1AP Gene

meiosis 1 associated protein

This gene encodes a protein that is likely to function in progression of meiosis. A similar protein in mouse plays a role in gametogenesis in both sexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

MEI4 Gene

meiosis-specific 4 homolog (S. cerevisiae)

Predicted to be involved in meiosis I cell cycle process; oogenesis; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be active in lateral element. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MIOS Gene

missing oocyte, meiosis regulator, homolog (Drosophila)

Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Involved in cellular response to amino acid starvation; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and protein-containing complex localization. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; lysosomal membrane; and nucleoplasm. Part of GATOR2 complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MARF1 Gene

meiosis regulator and mRNA stability factor 1

This gene encodes a putative peroxisomal protein that appears to be conserved across Euteleostomi. In humans, it may be autoantigenic. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

MEIOSIN Gene

meiosis initiator

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein dimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including activation of meiosis; cellular response to retinoic acid; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MEIOC Gene

meiosis specific with coiled-coil domain

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including germ cell development; germline cell cycle switching, mitotic to meiotic cell cycle; and meiosis I. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
