Primary Identifier | MGI:1918325 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 108653 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables N-acetyl-L-aspartate-L-glutamate ligase activity and citrate-L-glutamate ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein modification process. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; hindlimb phalanx; and tooth. Orthologous to human RIMKLB (ribosomal modification protein rimK like family member B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a 3 bp deletion exhibit male infertility, with decreased sperm counts, impaired sperm motility, sperm head abnormalities and incomplete spermatogenesis.
