Primary Identifier | MGI:1916547 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 69297 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Is expressed in 4th ventricle lateral recess; lateral ventricle choroid plexus; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human LRRC46 (leucine rich repeat containing 46). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice for a null allele exhibit male infertility. Males have reduced total sperm counts, impaired sperm motility, and spermiogenesis defects resulting in abnormal sperm flagella and heads. [provided by MGI curators] |
