Protein-coding gene in humans
Dpy-19-like 2 (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DPY19L2 gene .[ 5]
The C. elegans dpy-19 belongs to the dpy ("dumpy" phenotype)[ 6] C-linked mannosyltransferase activity.[ 7] [ 8] 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).
