Primary Identifier | MGI:1918349 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 71099 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables magnesium ion binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in fertilization; flagellated sperm motility; and spermatid development. Located in sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human TSSK4 (testis specific serine kinase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced male fertility, decreased sperm ferility and abnormal axoneme structure and sperm midpiece morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
