description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Located in membrane and secretory granule. Is expressed in neocortex. Orthologous to human SYPL1 (synaptophysin like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male infertility or sub-fertility associated with asthenozoospermia, sperm flagellar angulation, and abnormal formation and sequestration of saccular elements within the cytoplasmic droplet during late steps of spermiogenesis.
