Tex15

Predicted to be involved in meiotic nuclear division; regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and transposable element silencing by piRNA-mediated DNA methylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on DNA methylation-dependent constitutive heterochromatin formation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homeostasis of number of cells within a tissue; homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; and male genitalia development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 25. Orthologous to human TEX15 (testis expressed 15, meiosis and synapsis associated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Tex15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
