Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 67753 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including acrosomal vesicle exocytosis; endocytosis; and fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human EQTN (equatorin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced male fertility, oligozoospermia, and severely decreased fertilization and induced acrosome reaction rates.
