| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within antral ovarian follicle growth; seminiferous tubule development; and spermatogenesis. Located in nucleus; ooplasm; and sperm head. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage conceptus; blastocyst-stage conceptus; brain; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human SCAPER (S-phase cyclin A associated protein in the ER). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display male infertility, absence of spermatogenesis, reduced testes size and weight, reduced female fertility and ovarian follicle abnormalities.
