Primary Identifier | MGI:2147030 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 106757 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in flagellated sperm motility and sperm capacitation. Located in sperm principal piece. Part of CatSper complex. Orthologous to human CATSPERD (cation channel sperm associated auxiliary subunit delta). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a deletion in this gene display male infertility.
