	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleolus
	intracellular,nuclear envelope
text	during mid-prophase, redistributes from a solely cytoplasmic localization to both cytoplasmic and nuclear in late prophase spermatocytes and round spermatids, and ultimately incorporated into the sperm tail

basic FUNCTION	regulating the localization of FANCL
	playing a role in spermatogenesis
	potential role for the GGN-CRISP2 complex in sperm tail development and/or motility
	GGN plays likely a role in male meiotic DSB repair and is absolutely required for the survival of pre-implantation embryos
	played a tumor-promoting role in bladder cancer through regulation of NFKB1/caspase3-mediated apoptosis signaling
	potential oncogenic role for GGN in Colorectal cancer (CRC) progress

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, differentiation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

reproduction/sex

text	spermatogenesis

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with FANCL, GGNBP1 and ZNF403/GGNBP2
	interacting with CRISP2, between the ion channel regulatory region within the CRISP2 CRISP domain and the carboxyl-most 158 AAs of GGN
	GGN is a testis-enriched protein that has been shown to bind to the DNA repair protein FANCL
