Primary Identifier | MGI:1918084 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 70834 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including JUN kinase binding activity; MAP-kinase scaffold activity; and kinesin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of MAPK cascade; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and striated muscle cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; retina; and trigeminal nerve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to human SPAG9 (sperm associated antigen 9). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null mutation display reduced fertility with oligoasthenozoospermia. [provided by MGI curators] |
