Primary Identifier | MGI:1922145 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 74895 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables microtubule binding activity. Located in manchette and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in 3rd ventricle; 4th ventricle; and choroid invagination. Orthologous to human CCDC181 (coiled-coil domain containing 181). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null males are infertile, with defective late spermatids that undergo apoptosis and lead to a decline in sperm counts. Sperm show defective head shaping, acrosome detachment, impaired manchette formation, and defects in sperm flagellum and motility. [provided by MGI curators] |
