| PF13815 | Iguana/Dzip1-like DAZ-interacting protein N-terminal | family |
The DAZ gene-product - Deleted in Azoospermia - and a closely related sequence are required early in germ-cell development in order to maintain germ-cell populations. This family is the N-terminal region that is the only part of the protein in some fungi and lower metazoa.
