TEX14 also regulates intercellular bridges in the mouse ovary (Ikami et al., 2021; Niu and Spradling, 2022) and mutations in Tex14 are associated with infertility in pigs and humans (Gershoni et al., 2017; Sironen et al., 2017; Fakhro et al., 2018), consistent with a fundamental role for this protein in the regulation of stable intercellular bridges, at least in mammals. Here, TEX14 is linked to Infertility.
