Primary Identifier | MGI:3027002 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 331046 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within mating plug formation. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in anterior prostate gland; prostate gland dorsolateral lobe; and ventral prostate gland. Orthologous to human TGM4 (transglutaminase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired copulatory plug formation, reduced fertilization and few litters sired. [provided by MGI curators] |
