| Primary Identifier | MGI:1923023 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 75773 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA adenosine deaminase activity; double-stranded RNA binding activity; and tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase activity. Involved in spermatid development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; sensory organ; and testis. Orthologous to human ADAD2 (adenosine deaminase domain containing 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for mutations of this gene exhibit male infertility associated with arrested spermiogenesis and instability of P-bodies. [provided by MGI curators] |
