Primary Identifier | MGI:1920971 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 73721 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alpha-tubulin binding activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Acts upstream of or within protein-containing complex assembly. Located in several cellular components, including manchette; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and sperm midpiece. Is active in axonemal A tubule inner sheath and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in several structures, including sensory organ; skeleton; tarsus; testis; and thymus. Orthologous to human SPMIP6 (sperm microtubule inner protein 6). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a mutation are viable and show normal fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
