Variably charged protein VCX/VCY1

Definition

This family includes variable charge X-linked proteins (VCX1, VCX2 and VCX3) and basic protein Y1 or variable charge Y1 (VCY1). Their function is unknown, but they may mediate a process in spermatogenesis or may play a role in sex ratio distortion. It's worth noting that the VCX/Y family has members on both the X and Y chromosome, but all appear to be expressed exclusively in male germ cells PMID:10607842.
