description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; meiotic DNA double-strand break formation involved in reciprocal meiotic recombination; and positive regulation of meiotic DNA double-strand break formation. Located in chromatin. Orthologous to human ANKRD31 (ankyrin repeat domain 31). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit male infertility with oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia and loss of epididymal integrity. [provided by MGI curators] |
