Primary Identifier | MGI:1347557 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 22114 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables magnesium ion binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in peptidyl-serine phosphorylation and spermatid development. Located in motile cilium. Is expressed in embryo; seminiferous tubule; spermatid; and testis. Orthologous to several human genes including TSSK1B (testis specific serine kinase 1B). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a knock-out allele of Tssk1 and 2 are infertile due to arrested spermatogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
