Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in acrosome assembly. Acts upstream of or within sperm axoneme assembly. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human PDCL2 (phosducin like 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show male infertility, globozoospermia, abnormal acrosome biogenesis and lack of acrosomal cap formation, and sperm immobility and disrupted flagellum axonemes.
