Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 75763 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within acrosome assembly and cell morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Cul4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; lower urinary tract; nasal cavity epithelium; submandibular gland primordium; and ventral grey horn. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome. Orthologous to human DCAF17 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male infertility associated with defects in spermatogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
