Primary Identifier | MGI:1914043 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 66793 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-tubulin binding activity; calcium-dependent outer dynein arm binding activity; and dynein heavy chain binding activity. Involved in regulation of flagellated sperm motility. Located in cilium. Is expressed in central nervous system and pancreas trunk epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia. Orthologous to human CLXN (calaxin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a knock-out allele show partial lethality during fetal growth and development, hydrocephaly, situs inversus, enlarged brain ventricles, cardiac hypertrophy, reduced motility and fluid flows in sperm flagella and epithelial cilia, and defects in nodal cilia formation and motility.
