Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 66733 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable delayed rectifier potassium channel activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in action potential; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and retina inner nuclear layer. Orthologous to human KCNG4 (potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily G member 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male infertility and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia associated with defects in spermiogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
