| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in sperm axoneme assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium movement involved in cell motility; negative regulation of microtubule depolymerization; and protein stabilization. Located in axoneme and sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human BBOF1 (basal body orientation factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit male sterility, asthenozoospermia, and abnormal sperm flagellum morphology and function. [provided by MGI curators] |
