description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within gene expression; single fertilization; and sperm flagellum assembly. Part of radial spoke. Is active in axoneme. Is expressed in Meckel's cartilage and skeleton. Orthologous to human CFAP119 (cilia and flagella associated protein 119). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male infertility, decreased testis size and weight, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and teratozoospermia with abnormal sperm head morphology and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella.
