syp-1 encodes a coiled-coil protein; syp-1 activity is required for stabilizing homologous associations between paired meiotic prophase chromosomes and for promoting crossover recombination; SYP-1 is a synaptonemal complex component that localizes to the central element that forms between paired homologous pachytene chromosomes.
Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of reciprocal meiotic recombination; regulation of chromosome segregation; and synaptonemal complex assembly. Located in central element. Expressed in germ line.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
