| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within male germ-line stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; liver; nervous system; sensory organ; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in keratoconus. Orthologous to several human genes including TUBA3C (tubulin alpha 3c) and TUBA3D (tubulin alpha 3d). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal testis size and fertility. Mice homozygous for both Tuba3a and 3b exhibit small testis and postnatal depletion of germ cells.
