Preferred Label : Deleted in Azoospermia 1 Protein;
MeSH definition : An RNA recognition motif protein that is essential for SPERMATOGENESIS. It promotes
entry of male GERM CELLS to MEIOSIS, possibly by regulating the translation of mRNAs.
DAZ1 occurs within a cluster of similar genes on the Y CHROMOSOME that is prone to
genetic deletions and duplications. Deletions in these genes, including DAZ1, are
associated with AZOOSPERMIA and OLIGOSPERMIA.;
