Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in autophagosome assembly; cellular response to starvation; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; bounding membrane of organelle; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with late endosome; lysosome; and trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human ELAPOR1 (endosome-lysosome associated apoptosis and autophagy regulator 1). PHENOTYPE: Male homozygous mice are infertile. Microscopic analysis revealed defective spermatogenesis in the testis, and hypospermia and defective spermatozoa in the epididymides.
