Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; flagellated sperm motility; and spermatogenesis. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; orbito-sphenoid; rest of cerebellum marginal layer; testis; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human H1-6 (H1.6 linker histone, cluster member). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice develop normally and exhibit normal testicular morphology, spermatogenesis and fertility.
