Primary Identifier | MGI:1333754 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 15463 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; GTPase activator activity; and metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within acrosome assembly; intermediate filament organization; and spermatid nucleus differentiation. Located in cell projection; cytoplasmic vesicle; and neuronal cell body. Used to study oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Orthologous to human AGFG1 (ArfGAP with FG repeats 1). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene are infertile as a result of abnormalities in spermatogenesis. Otherwise, males and females are normal and live a normal life span.
