Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable DNA topoisomerase type II (double strand cut, ATP-hydrolyzing) activity. Involved in meiotic DNA double-strand break formation and reciprocal meiotic recombination. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Is expressed in ovary; primary oocyte; secondary oocyte; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. Orthologous to human TOP6BL (TOP6B like initiator of meiotic double strand breaks).
