Primary Identifier | MGI:1923051 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 75801 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in meiosis I; oogenesis; and spermatogenesis. Located in central element. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; intestine; liver; lung; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency 18 and spermatogenic failure 52. Orthologous to human C14orf39 (chromosome 14 open reading frame 39). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display male and female infertility with meiotic arrest and defective synaptic formation. [provided by MGI curators] |
