Facts about Meiosis-specific with OB domain-containing protein.
Not required for the initial loading of recombinases but needed to keep a correct number of RAD51 and DMC1 foci following the zygotene stage. May act by ensuring that the insertion of recombinases, which is needed for successful homology search and meiotic recombination.

Sprecifically expressed in early meiotic germ cells: in adult and fetal tissues, detected in fetal ovary, postnatal testis and liver. In the ovary, expression starts at 12.5 dpc, reaches a maximum at 15.5 dpc and decreases to become undetectable in post natal life. In testis, expression starts at 10 days post partum (dpp), reaches a maximum at 20 dpp and is maintained throughout adult life.
