description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in calcium ion transport. Acts upstream of or within fertilization; flagellated sperm motility; and sperm capacitation. Located in sperm flagellum. Part of CatSper complex. Orthologous to human CATSPER2 (cation channel sperm associated 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null male mice are infertile due to a sperm motility defect. [provided by MGI curators] |
