Primary Identifier | MGI:1922814 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 75564 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in axonemal central apparatus assembly; cilium movement; and radial spoke assembly. Located in axoneme and sperm flagellum. Part of radial spoke head 1 and radial spoke head 3. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain ventricle; gut gland; ovary; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 12. Orthologous to human RSPH9 (radial spoke head component 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit postnatal lethality, hydrocephaly, ventriculomegaly, abnormal brain ependyma motile cilium morphology and physiology, reduced cerebrospinal fluid flow, astrogliosis, microgliosis, cerebrovascular and myelination abnormalities, and severe sinusitis.
