Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 22635 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human ZAN (zonadhesin). PHENOTYPE: Sperm from mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased species-specific zona pellucida adhesion without alteration in fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
