Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphoglycerate kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within flagellated sperm motility and glycolytic process. Located in sperm fibrous sheath. Is expressed in germ cell of testis and testis. Orthologous to human PGK2 (phosphoglycerate kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased male fertility associated with reduced sperm motility.
