| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including midbody; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and sperm annulus. Predicted to be part of septin complex. Predicted to be active in cell division site; microtubule cytoskeleton; and septin ring. Is expressed in testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 10. Orthologous to human SEPTIN12 (septin 12). PHENOTYPE: Male chimeras heterozygous for a null allele are sterile due to severe spermatogenic defects. Males homozygous for a different null allele are sterile and show oligospermia, asthenospermia, abnormal sperm morphology, and impaired egg activation and fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection, whereas heterozygous males are fertile.
