description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in defense response to virus; innate immune response; and positive regulation of type I interferon production. Acts upstream of or within cell morphogenesis; single fertilization; and vacuole organization. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is active in sperm head. Orthologous to human GARIN5A (golgi associated RAB2 interactor 5A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null males are subfertile, with impaired sperm motility, abnormal sperm head morphology, and impaired zona pellucida penetration during in vitro fertilization.
