Primary Identifier | MGI:3708784 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 637079 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in spermatid development. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 78. Orthologous to human IQCN (IQ motif containing N). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit male sterility associated with failure of sperm to induce egg activation, abnormal sperm head, and ectopic and elongated manchette.
