Meiosis-specific protein that localizes to chromosomes; prevents synapsis between nonhomologous chromosomes and ensures synapsis between homologs; complexes with Mnd1p to promote homolog pairing and meiotic double-strand break repair; heterodimer of Hop2p-Mnd1p stimulates the Dmc1p-mediated strand invasion [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003001]
Chromosome VII: 435,625-436,401 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006941.2
