HEAT-SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR, Y-LINKED; HSFY


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: HSFY1

Cytogenetic location: Yq11.222   Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : Y:18,529,643-18,588,963 (from NCBI)


TEXT

▼ Cloning and Expression

Skaletsky et al. (2003) determined that the HSFY gene is expressed exclusively in testis.


▼ Mapping

Skaletsky et al. (2003) determined that there are 2 palindromic copies of the HSFY gene within palindrome 4 of chromosome Yq. The HSFY gene is located in the male-specific region of chromosome Y (MSY), which is not involved in X-Y crossover events. There is no X-linked homolog of HSFY.

The male-specific region of the human Y chromosome is a mosaic of discrete sequence classes. Nature 423: 825-837, 2003. [PubMed: 12815422, related citations] [Full Text]
