Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables chromatin binding activity; single-stranded DNA 3'-5' DNA exonuclease activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; fertilization; and meiosis I. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency and spermatogenic failure 22. Orthologous to human MEIOB (meiosis specific with OB-fold).
