The function of ENSG00000145700 (ANKRD31, ankyrin repeat domain 31) is as follows. Required for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation during meiotic recombination. Regulates the spatial and temporal patterns of pre-DSB recombinosome assembly and recombination activity by acting as a scaffold that anchors REC114 and other factors to specific genomic locations, thereby regulating DSB formation. Plays a key role in recombination in the pseudoautosomal regions of sex chromosomes. .
