Primary Identifier | MGI:3046414 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 215095 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables aspartic-type peptidase activity and glutamic-type peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; positive regulation of protein processing; and prevention of polyspermy. Located in cortical granule and plasma membrane. Is expressed in early conceptus and oocyte. Orthologous to human ASTL (astacin like metalloendopeptidase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for knock-out alleles exhibit reduced female fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
