description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within nucleus organization and spermatid development. Located in male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in testis. Orthologous to human PRM1 (protamine 1). PHENOTYPE: In chimeras deformed sperm with loosely compacted chromatin are derived from spermatogenic cells with one copy of the mutated allele. No offspring carrying the mutated allele are produced from matings using chimeras. [provided by MGI curators] |
