Primary Identifier | MGI:1930790 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 56872 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable acetylcholine receptor regulator activity. Acts upstream of or within modulation of chemical synaptic transmission and response to wounding. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle and extracellular space. Is expressed in alimentary system; genitourinary system; and skin. Orthologous to human PATE4 (prostate and testis expressed 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal viability with no detectable defects in bone formation or remodeling, organ gross morphology or fertility. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit male subfertility due to impaired vaginal plug formation and semen leakage. [provided by MGI curators] |
