Testis-specific chromodomain protein Y 1

It is a histone acetyltransferase expressed exclusively in testis. The cdy gene is present on the Y chromosome. It is supposed to be responsible for the bulk of histone H4 acetylation in spermatids. It is also linked to histone to protamine transition that occurs in sperms (PMID: 12072557). Overexpression of SRC-1 leads to resistance towards cancer therapy (PMID: 19276281).
