Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle. Orthologous to several human genes including SPATA31A5 (SPATA31 subfamily A member 5); SPATA31A6 (SPATA31 subfamily A member 6); and SPATA31A7 (SPATA31 subfamily A member 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice with loss of expression in the gonads display male infertility with oligoteratozoospermia, marked reduction in spermatid numbers, and premature release of germ cells.
