IGSF11 is required for pericentric heterochromatin dissociation during meiotic diplotene.
Meiosis initiation and progression are regulated by both germ cells and gonadal somatic cells. However, little is known about what genes or proteins connecting somatic and germ cells are required for this regulation. Our results show that deficiency for adhesion molecule IGSF11, which is expressed i...

Meiosis initiation and progression are regulated by both germ cells and gonadal somatic cells.
