    Summary
    This gene is a germ cell-specific gene that encodes proteins that interact with POG (proliferation of germ cells). Alternatively spliced transcript variants of a similar mouse gene encode at least three different proteins, namely gametogenetin protein 1a, gametogenetin protein 2, and gametogenetin protein 3, which show a perinuclear, cytoplasmic, and nucleolar localization, respectively. These proteins regulate the localization of POG and may play a role in spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. GGN played a tumor-promoting role in bladder cancer through regulation of NFkappaB/caspase3-mediated apoptosis signaling.
      Title: Increased expression of GGN promotes tumorigenesis in bladder cancer and is correlated with poor prognosis.
    2. No significant associations with fertility status were observed, suggesting that variance in the GGN gene are not a common cause of oligospermic infertility in Australian men

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
