Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12344 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and barbed-end actin filament capping. Located in cortical cytoskeleton and membrane. Orthologous to human CAPZA3 (capping actin protein of muscle Z-line subunit alpha 3). PHENOTYPE: Males homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation are infertile, exhibit low epididymal sperm concentrations, and produce sperm with abnormally shaped heads and poor motility.
