Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA clamp loader activity and single-stranded DNA helicase activity. Acts upstream of or within germ cell development; meiotic nuclear division; and negative regulation of chromosome segregation. Located in cytoplasm and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; immune system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human CHTF18 (chromosome transmission fidelity factor 18). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit partial prenatal lethality, reduced body and testis weight, defective male meiosis, impaired spermatogenesis, oligozoospermia, and reduced male fertility.
