Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 83984 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables magnesium ion binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in sperm DNA condensation. Orthologous to human TSSK6 (testis specific serine kinase 6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null males are infertile and exhibit decreased sperm numbers and sperm motility, abnormal sperm head morphology and reduced DNA compaction in spermatozoa.
