Primary Identifier | MGI:2685948 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 210145 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activity. Involved in positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility. Located in lipid droplet and sperm mitochondrial sheath. Orthologous to human IRGC (immunity related GTPase cinema). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced male fertility associated with short sperm flagellum, decreased sperm progressive motility, impaired sperm penetration of zona pellucida, and disorganized sperm fibrous sheath morphology.
