Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cilium movement; outer dynein arm assembly; and regulation of cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; flagellated sperm motility; and seminiferous tubule development. Located in centriole and ciliary basal body. Is active in sperm flagellum. Is expressed in node; testis; and trachea. Used to study Kartagener syndrome and primary ciliary dyskinesia 30. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 30. Orthologous to human ODAD3 (outer dynein arm docking complex subunit 3). PHENOTYPE: Mico homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit dextrocardia associated with situs inversus totalis and hypoplastic spleen, adrenal anomalies and immotile/dyskinetic tracheal airway cilia. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated ubiquitously in adults exhibit reduced sperm number and motility. [provided by MGI curators] |
