Primary Identifier | MGI:1918112 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 70862 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in spermatid development. Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Used to study male infertility. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 6. Orthologous to human SPATA16 (spermatogenesis associated 16). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a deletion of the fourth exon exhibit male infertility mice due to spermiogenic arrest but not globozoospermia. [provided by MGI curators] |
