Primary Identifier | MGI:2447809 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 227736 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in sperm axoneme assembly. Located in ciliary basal body. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nasal epithelium; node; respiratory system; and snout. Orthologous to human CFAP157 (cilia and flagella associated protein 157). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout males are infertile owing to reduced sperm count and reduced and abnormal sperm motility as a result of abnormal sperm morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
