Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cilium assembly and flagellated sperm motility. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on regulation of brood size. Located in acrosomal vesicle. Is active in axonemal A tubule inner sheath and sperm flagellum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 81. Orthologous to human TEKT3 (tektin 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit defective sperm motility.
