domain:Consists of an alpha-helical stretch of 700 AA residues, flanked by N- and C-terminal globular domains. The C-terminal domain has DNA-binding capacity.,function:Major component of the transverse filaments of synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase.,subcellular location:In tripartite segments of synaptonemal complexes, between lateral elements in the nucleus. Found only where the chromosome cores are synapsed. Its N-terminus is found towards the center of the synaptonemal complex while the C-terminus extends well into the lateral domain of the synaptonemal complex.,subunit:Found in a complex with SYCE1 and SYCE2. Interacts with SYCE1 and SYCE2.,tissue specificity:Testis.,
Nucleus . Chromosome . Chromosome, centromere . In tripartite segments of synaptonemal complexes, between lateral elements in the nucleus. Its N-terminus is found towards the center of the synaptonemal complex while the C-terminus extends well into the lateral domain of the synaptonemal complex (By similarity). Only rarely detected at centromeres during leptotene and zygotene. Detected at centromeres during mid-diplotene, when it is no longer present along chromosome arms. No longer detected at centromeres at later stages of meiosis (By similarity). .
