Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 16532 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables potassium channel activity. Involved in fertilization and potassium ion transport. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell and protein stabilization. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in germ cell of testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 79. Orthologous to human KCNU1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily U member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous male mutants are infertile with impaired sperm capacitation. [provided by MGI curators] |
