Primary Identifier | MGI:1929914 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 58864 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables magnesium ion binding activity; manganese ion binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in spermatid development. Is active in sperm flagellum. Is expressed in germ cell of testis; spermatid; spermatocyte; and testis. Orthologous to human TSSK3 (testis specific serine kinase 3). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mutations of this gene result in male sterility associated with severe oligozoospermia, completely immotile sperm, abnormal sperm head and tail morphologies, and altered late spermiogenesis.
