| Primary Identifier | MGI:1329027 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 14626 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable glycerol kinase activity. Involved in sperm mitochondrial sheath assembly. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane and sperm mitochondrial sheath. Orthologous to human GK2 (glycerol kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: The gene product is involved in mitochondrial dynamics in sperm cells. Homozygous KO causes sperm motility defects which leads to male infertility, but does not result in alopecia or hair growth abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
