Primary Identifier | MGI:1891150 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 56291 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable F-box domain binding activity and pseudophosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Located in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human STYX (serine/threonine/tyrosine interacting protein). PHENOTYPE: Males homozygous for a targeted null mutation are sterile due to a deficiency of germ cells at the immature, round, and elongating spermatid stages. Residual epididymal sperm have head abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
