Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 76606 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; and testis. Orthologous to human LLCFC1 (LLLL and CFNLAS motif containing 1).
