Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 208908 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nuclear estrogen receptor binding activity and nuclear receptor coactivator activity. Involved in spermatid development. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst hatching. Located in acrosomal vesicle. Is expressed in early conceptus and secondary oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 67. Orthologous to human CCDC62 (coiled-coil domain containing 62). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for an ENU-induced mutation or a deletion knockout exhibit male reproductive abnormalities including infertility, low sperm count, abnormal sperm head and tail morphology, very low sperm motility, and low seminal vesicle weight.
