- dpy-19 like 2
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- SPATA34, SPGF9
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the dpy-19 family. It is highly expressed in testis, and is required for sperm head elongation and acrosome formation during spermatogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with an infertility disorder, spermatogenic failure type 9 (SPGF9). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011].

Dpy-19-like 2 (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DPY19L2 gene.
== Function == The C. elegans gene dpy-19 belongs to the dpy ("dumpy" phenotype) gene class and encodes DPY-19, transmembrane protein with C-linked mannosyltransferase activity. In humans, it is highly expressed in testis, and is required for sperm head elongation and acrosome formation during spermatogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with an infertility disorder, spermatogenic failure type 9 (SPGF9).
