High impact information on Zfy2

 

Biological context of Zfy2

 

Anatomical context of Zfy2

  • In adults, the data suggest that Zfy-1 and Zfy-2 transcription is linked to spermatogenesis, that transcription increases with the initiation of meiosis, and that high levels of these mRNAs are found in postmeiotic round spermatid cells [3].
 

Associations of Zfy2 with chemical compounds

 

Enzymatic interactions of Zfy2

  • Sxrb, a derivative of Sxra, was previously thought to retain Zfy-1 but to be deleted for Zfy-2 [9].
 

Other interactions of Zfy2

  • Zfy-1 and Zfy-2 are candidate genes for Tdy, the testis-determining gene in mice [10].
