Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 69987 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Located in acrosomal vesicle and ciliary basal body. Is active in axonemal microtubule doublet inner sheath; ciliary base; and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in several structures, including nasal cavity respiratory epithelium; oviduct; respiratory system; spleen; and testis. Orthologous to human SPACA9 (sperm acrosome associated 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal male fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
