A portion of amino acids 468-496 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this RBMY1A1 antibody.
This gene encodes a protein containing an RNA-binding motif in the N-terminus and four SRGY (serine, arginine, glycine, tyrosine) boxes in the C-terminus. Multiple copies of this gene are found in the AZFb azoospermia factor region of chromosome Y and the encoded protein is thought to be involved in spermatogenesis. Most copies of this locus are pseudogenes, although six highly similar copies have full-length ORFs and are considered functional. Four functional copies of this gene are found within inverted repeat IR2, two functional copies of this gene are found in palindrome P3, along with two copies of PTPN13-like, Y-linked.
