Primary Identifier | MGI:1922902 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 239591 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein-glycine ligase activity, initiating. Involved in flagellated sperm motility and protein polyglycylation. Acts upstream of or within cilium assembly. Located in axoneme; microtubule cytoskeleton; and sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human TTLL8 (tubulin tyrosine ligase like 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele of Ttll8 and Ttll3 exhibit reduced male fertility associated with asthenozoospermia and kinked flagellum. [provided by MGI curators] |
