TSPY1 testis specific protein Y-linked 1 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: TSPY1provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: testis specific protein Y-linked 1provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:12381
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000258992 MIM:480100; AllianceGenome:HGNC:12381
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: CT78; TSPY; DYS14; pJA923
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is found only in testicular tissue and may be involved in spermatogenesis. Many functional paralogs and pseudogenes of this gene are present in a cluster in humans, but only a single, nonfunctional orthologous gene is found in mouse. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

Compared to n-TSPY, all other PCR assays had poor performance to detect semen exposure. The n-TSPY is an accessible assay that may have great utility in assessing semen exposure in studies where many factors are expected to accelerate biomarkers' clearance.

Experimental evidence establishes TSPY1 as an oncogenic factor that facilitates tumor progression and causes poor prognosis in male patients with lung adenocarcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. These findings revealed that TSPY1 strongly promotes the activation of the PI3K/AKT and RAS signaling pathways through suppressing IGFBP3 gene transcription.

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.

NM_001197242.2 → NP_001184171.1 testis-specific Y-encoded protein 1 isoform TSPY-L

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice compared to variant 1, which results in a frameshift. The resulting isoform (TSPY-L) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus compared to isoform TSPY1-S.
