Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables calcium ion binding activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Located in acrosomal vesicle and sperm principal piece. Orthologous to human CABS1 (calcium binding protein, spermatid associated 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit bent sperm tails, thinning annulus, reduced sperm motility, and reduced pregnancy rates. [provided by MGI curators] |
