Pachytene checkpoint protein 2 homolog (TRIP13)

Plays a key role in chromosome recombination and chromosome structure development during meiosis. Required at first steps in meiotic recombination that leads to non-crossovers pathways.

Also needed for efficient completion of homologous synapsis by influencing crossover distribution along the chromosomes affecting both crossovers and non-crossovers pathways. Also required for development of higher-order chromosome structures and is needed for synaptonemal-complex formation.
