Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 13013 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in antimicrobial humoral response. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; reproductive system; and urogenital ridge. Orthologous to several human genes including CST9L (cystatin 9 like). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes are viable and fertile with normal testes development and morphology, sperm numbers and motility, and serum levels of testosterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone.
