description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable benzodiazepine receptor binding activity. Involved in fertilization and spermatid development. Located in nucleus. Colocalizes with manchette. Orthologous to human RIMBP3 (RIMS binding protein 3); RIMBP3B (RIMS binding protein 3B); and RIMBP3C (RIMS binding protein 3C). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null mutation display infertility with impaired spermiogenesis and defects in sperm head and flagellum morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
