Primary Identifier | MGI:1932115 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 56522 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable poly(A) RNA polymerase activity. Predicted to be involved in RNA 3'-end processing and mRNA processing. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; skin; and testis. Orthologous to human PAPOLB (poly(A) polymerase beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit male infertility associated with reduced testes weight, smaller seminiferous tubules, and arrested spermiogenesis.
