Primary Identifier | MGI:1202300 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 16532 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell; potassium ion transport; and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in germ cell of testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure. Orthologous to human KCNU1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily U member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous male mutants are infertile with impaired sperm capacitation. [provided by MGI curators] |
