Primary Identifier | MGI:1920551 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 73301 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cilium movement. Located in sperm flagellum. Is expressed in 4th ventricle lateral recess and lateral ventricle choroid plexus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 42. Orthologous to human TTC29 (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 29). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout leads to sperm flagellum malformations, resulting in reduced male fertility.
