Primary Identifier | MGI:1925368 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 78118 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human C16orf92 (chromosome 16 open reading frame 92). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null mutation display severely reduced fertility with impaired fertilization due to impaired fusion on sperm with oocytes. [provided by MGI curators] |
