High impact information on Ccub1

Dnahc8, an axonemal dynein heavy chain gene, is a strong candidate for the proximal factor, Ccua, but the identity of the distal factor, Ccub, is unknown [1].

Other interactions of Ccub1

Recent studies have shown that the complete presentation of "curlicue" derives from expression of at least two factors within the locus, Curlicue a (Ccua) proximally and Curlicue b (Ccub) distally, with a factor affecting sperm-oolemma penetration, Stop1p, mapping between them [2].
