| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in acrosome assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male germ cell proliferation; negative regulation of serine-type endopeptidase activity; and seminiferous tubule development. Located in acrosomal vesicle and neuron projection. Is expressed in intestine; male reproductive gland or organ; oviduct; skin; and tongue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 29. Orthologous to human SPINK2 (serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit reduced male fertility associated with oligozoospermia, teratozoospermia, male germ cell apoptosis, and small testis.
