Gene Information
human ... BOLL(66037)
General description
The gene BOLL (Protein boule-like) is mapped to human chromosome 2q33. It belongs to DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) gene family. BOLL transcripts are present in testis. However, BOLL is also expressed for very short period in the germ cells of the human fetal ovary. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and contains an RNA binding domain.
Immunogen
Protein boule-like recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
BOLL (Protein boule-like) is considered to be crucial for meiotic transition in the process of spermatogenesis. Disruption of BOLL in mice results in male-specific infertility due to arrest of spermiogenesis at the round spermatid stage. BOLL is up-regulated in colorectal cancer. Presence of BOLL is associated with enhanced cell proliferation, colony formation and migration.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The Deleted in Azoospermia gene family encodes three germ cell-specific RNA-binding proteins (DAZ, DAZL and BOLL) that are essential for gametogenesis in diverse species. Targeted disruption of Boll in mice causes male-specific spermiogenic defects, but females are apparently fertile. Overexpression

The complex process of spermatogenesis requires the expression and precise coordination of a multitude of genes. Abnormal function of such genes is frequently associated with male infertility. Among these candidates is the human BOULE gene that is a possible fundamental
