Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 12659 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chitin binding activity and chitinase activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Located in egg coat and perivitelline space. Is expressed in lung; oviduct; and testis. Orthologous to human OVGP1 (oviductal glycoprotein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene show no phenotypic abnormalities. Female reproduction is essentially normal.
