Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 333182 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human COX6B2 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6B2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show reduced male fertility associated with asthenozoospermia but no abnormalities in sperm mitochondrial sheath formation or sperm mitochondrial function. Female fertility is unaffected. [provided by MGI curators] |
