Primary Identifier | MGI:3057273 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 328401 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility involved in capacitation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in ileum and jejunum. Orthologous to human RNASE9 (ribonuclease A family member 9 (inactive)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable, fertile and overtly normal. However, male homozygotes display impaired sperm maturation during epididymal transit. [provided by MGI curators] |
