Functional differentiation of spermatogonia associated with detection of c-kit positive cells
did not depend upon expression of Dazl. RBMY-positive cells (A, intermediate, B …

Dazl encodes an RNA-binding protein essential for spermatogenesis. Mice that are deficient
for Dazl are infertile, lacking any formation of spermatozoa, and the only germ cells present …

The human DAZ gene family is expressed in germ cells and consists of a cluster of nearly
identical DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) genes on the Y chromosome and an autosomal …

Genetic understanding of male‐factor infertility requires knowledge of gene expression
patterns associated with normal germ cell differentiation. The mouse is one of the best …

Expression of DAZ-like (DAZL) is a hallmark of vertebrate germ cells, and is essential for
embryonic germ cell development and differentiation, yet the gametogenic function of DAZL …

The murine autosomal deleted in azoospermia-like protein (mDAZL) is a germ cell-restricted
RNA-binding protein essential for sperm production. Homozygous disruption of the mDAZL …

Y-chromosomal DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) and autosomal DAZ-like (DAZL) comprise a
gene family involved in gametogenesis. Y-chromosomal and autosomal genes only co-exist …

We analysed the location of proteins encoded by the DAZ (Deleted in AZoospermia) genes
in human testis tissue and in mature spermatozoa. The DAZ genes are known to be …

The Deleted in AZoospermia (DAZ) genes encode potential RNA-binding proteins that are
expressed exclusively in prenatal and postnatal germ cells and are strong candidates for …

Abstract The DAZ (Deleted in AZoospermia) gene cluster on the Y chromosome is a strong
candidate for the azoospermia factor. The DAZ gene was derived from an autosomal …
