description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be part of respiratory chain complex IV. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; liver; lung; muscle tissue; and spleen. Orthologous to human COX7B2 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7B2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired sperm fertilization, asthenozoospermia, tetratozoospermia, and disorganized midpiece mitochondria. [provided by MGI curators] |
