description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; membrane lipid metabolic process; and regulation of gene expression. Located in acrosomal vesicle and cell body. Part of zona pellucida receptor complex. Is expressed in lung. Orthologous to human ZPBP2 (zona pellucida binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null mutation display reduced fecundity, mild teratozoospermia, and delayed fertilization. [provided by MGI curators] |
