Primary Identifier | MGI:2686209 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 68625 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within axonemal dynein complex assembly; single fertilization; and sperm flagellum assembly. Is active in sperm flagellum. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nasal epithelium; oral epithelium; skin; and upper jaw. Used to study male infertility. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 95. Orthologous to human CFAP57 (cilia and flagella associated protein 57). PHENOTYPE: Knockout leads to sperm flagellum dysmorphology, which causes male infertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
