Function
RE114_MOUSE Required for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation in unsynapsed regions during meiotic recombination (PubMed:20551173, PubMed:27723721). Probably acts by forming a complex with IHO1/CCDC36 and MEI4, which activates DSBs formation in unsynapsed regions, an essential step to ensure completion of synapsis (PubMed:27723721).[1] [2]
