Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Involved in meiosis I cell cycle process and meiotic DNA double-strand break processing. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be active in nuclear chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval anterior midgut; embryonic/larval fat body; germarium region 2; germarium region 3; and larval central nervous system. Orthologous to human SPO11 (SPO11 initiator of meiotic double strand breaks). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
