Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 67077 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in flagellated sperm motility; male meiotic nuclear division; and sperm capacitation. Located in sperm principal piece. Part of CatSper complex. Is expressed in alimentary system; genitourinary system; and skin. Orthologous to human CATSPERZ (catsper channel auxiliary subunit zeta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout males are sub-fertile: reduced litters and high rate of infertility. Flagellar dysfunction compromises sperm mobility. [provided by MGI curators] |
