Summary
C14orf39 (chromosome 14 open reading frame 39, HGNC:19849) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.1, encoding Protein SIX6OS1 (Q8N1H7). Meiotic protein that localizes to the central element of the synaptonemal complex and is required for chromosome synapsis during meiotic recombination.
Involved in homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be active in central element. Implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency 18 and spermatogenic failure 52.

Function. Meiotic protein that localizes to the central element of the synaptonemal complex and is required for chromosome synapsis during meiotic recombination. Required for the appropriate processing of intermediate recombination nodules before crossover formation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with SYCE1. Interacts with proteasome subunit PSMA8; to participate in meiosis progression during spermatogenesis.
Subcellular location. Chromosome.
Tissue specificity. Highest expression in retina, skeletal muscle, testis and colon.
Disease relevance. Spermatogenic failure 52 (SPGF52) [MIM:619202] An autosomal recessive infertility disorder characterized by azoospermia due to meiotic arrest at the spermatocyte stage. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Premature ovarian failure 18 (POF18) [MIM:619203] A form of premature ovarian failure, an ovarian disorder defined as the cessation of ovarian function under the age of 40 years. It is characterized by oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, in the presence of elevated levels of serum gonadotropins and low estradiol. POF18 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and cessation of menstruation in the third decade of life. The uterus is small, ovaries may be small or rudimentary, and do not show follicular activity. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
