Primary Identifier | MGI:1923628 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 76378 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; protein localization to cilium; and sperm capacitation. Located in sperm cytoplasmic droplet and sperm principal piece. Orthologous to several human genes including ROPN1 (rhophilin associated tail protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit reduced sperm motility and reduced male fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
