The function of ENSG00000203907 (OOEP, oocyte expressed protein) is as follows. Component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC), a multiprotein complex that plays a key role in early embryonic development. The SCMC complex is a structural constituent of cytoplasmic lattices, which consist in fibrous structures found in the cytoplasm of oocytes and preimplantation embryos. They are required to store maternal proteins critical for embryonic development, such as proteins that control epigenetic reprogramming of the preimplantation embryo, and prevent their degradation or activation. As part of the OOEP-KHDC3 scaffold, recruits BLM and TRIM25 to DNA replication forks, thereby promoting the ubiquitination of BLM by TRIM25, enhancing BLM retainment at replication forks and therefore promoting stalled replication fork restart. Positively regulates the homologous recombination-mediated DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway by regulating ATM activation and RAD51 recruitment to DSBs in oocytes. Thereby contributes to oocyte survival and the resumption and completion of meiosis. .
