Primary Identifier | MGI:2181067 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 66720 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including homeostasis of number of cells within a tissue; reproductive structure development; and spermatid development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 11. Orthologous to human KLHL10 (kelch like family member 10). PHENOTYPE: Disruption of one allele results in haploinsufficient male infertility in which heterozygous and chimeric males have a block in spermiogenesis. Female chimeras are fertile.
