== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Required for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation in unsynapsed regions during meiotic recombination. Probably acts by forming a complex with IHO1/CCDC36 and REC114, which activates DSBs formation in unsynapsed regions, an essential step to ensure completion of synapsis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BRM6}.
