Primary Identifier | MGI:1858178 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 53376 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circadian regulation of gene expression; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and locomotor rhythm. Located in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; integumental system; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human USP2 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display severely reduced male fertility with defects in sperm motility. [provided by MGI curators] |
