|
| Function |
Required for meiotic recombination. Mediates DNA cleavage that forms the double-strand breaks (DSB) that initiate meiotic recombination (By similarity). Essential for the phosphorylation of SMC3, HORMAD1 and HORMAD2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in testis.
