YBX2 is a member of the Y box multigene family of proteins, it contains the cold shock domain that is highly conserved among all Y box proteins and four basic/aromatic islands. By Northern blotting and immunoblotting, MSY2 appears to be a germ cell-specific protein in the testis. In the ovary, MSY2 is present exclusively in diplotene-stage and mature oocytes. MSY2 is maternally inherited in the one-cell-stage embryo but is not detected in the late two-cell-stage embryo. This loss of MSY2 is coincident with the bulk degradation of maternal mRNAs in the two-cell embryo.
