| Function | Major component of the transverse central element of synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase. Required for the assembly of the central element of the synaptonemal complex during meiosis, via remodeling of SYCP1 lattice structures and promoting recruitment of SYCE2-TEX12 and SYCE1-SIX60S1 complexes. Required for chromosome loading of the central element-specific SCS proteins, and for initiating synapsis between homologous chromosomes. Chromosome loading appears to require SYCP1. Required for fertility and normal testis development. |
