BNC2 is a major regulator of male germ stem cells, which is required for repression of meiosis and mitosis in prospermatogonia, and for meiosis progression during spermatogenesis.
Title: The zinc-finger protein basonuclin 2 is required for proper mitotic arrest, prevention of premature meiotic initiation and meiotic progression in mouse male germ cells.
Bnc2(-/-) mice of both sexes displayed a high frequency of distal urethral defects; heterozygotes showed similar defects with reduced penetrance.
Title: Human balanced translocation and mouse gene inactivation implicate Basonuclin 2 in distal urethral development.
Results show that basonuclin 2 is essential for the multiplication of craniofacial mesenchymal cells during embryogenesis.
Title: Basonuclin 2 has a function in the multiplication of embryonic craniofacial mesenchymal cells and is orthologous to disco proteins.
the extreme conservation of the basonuclin 2 amino acid sequence across vertebrates suggests that basonuclin 2 serves an important function, presumably as a regulatory protein of DNA transcription

gene expression profiling; structural and functional similarities with Basonuclin 1 suggest that Basonuclin2 may play an analogous function in germ cells and skin keratinocytes
Title: Identification of Basonuclin2, a DNA-binding zinc-finger protein expressed in germ tissues and skin keratinocytes.
Data show that basonuclin (Bn)2 but not bn1 colocalizes with SC35 in nuclear speckles, and may have a function in nuclear processing of mRNA.
Title: Basonuclins 1 and 2, whose genes share a common origin, are proteins with widely different properties and functions.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
