Primary Identifier | MGI:2684999 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 232286 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nuclear androgen receptor binding activity and nuclear receptor coactivator activity. Involved in regulation of proteasomal protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Leydig cell differentiation; regulation of gene expression; and spermatid development. Located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in mandible and maxilla. Orthologous to human TMF1 (TATA element modulatory factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male infertility associated with decreased testis weight, globozoospermia, absent acrosome, asthenozoospermia, and abnormal sperm midpiece morphology.
