description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in spermatogenesis and spliceosomal snRNP assembly. Acts upstream of or within germ cell development. Located in P granule; chromatoid body; and endoplasmic reticulum. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in primary spermatocyte; spermatid; spermatocyte; and testis. Orthologous to human TDRD6 (tudor domain containing 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit male fertility associated with arrested spermatogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
