Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 97487 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in gut; nose; submandibular gland primordium; and urinary system. Orthologous to human CMTM4 (CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show decreased daily sperm production and progressive sperm motility, abnormal spermatozoa with backward-curved heads or bent midpieces, and male subfertility. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele show a decreased inflammatory response to IL-17A administration and decreased susceptibility to experimental psoriasis but not to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
