Testis-expressed protein 13B (TEX13B)

Testis-expressed protein 13B (TEX13B) is a protein-coding gene mainly expressed in the testis, specifically in male germ cells such as spermatogenic cells and mature sperm nuclei[1][2][3][5]. In the mouse ortholog, it has been shown to function as a nuclear protein with transcriptional repressor activity, potentially playing a regulatory role during spermatogenesis[1]. There is no strong evidence that TEX13B is a therapeutic target, nor are there validated disease relationships or recognized drugs that interact with it. It is best classified as a testis-specific, germ cell nuclear protein with a putative regulatory function in male germline development[1][2][5].
