Summary
Predicted to enable peptidase activity. Involved in sperm axoneme assembly. Acts upstream of or within flagellated sperm motility. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; cytoskeleton; and motile cilium. Is expressed in choroid plexus and floor plate. Used to study spermatogenic failure 20. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 20. Orthologous to human CFAP44 (cilia and flagella associated protein 44). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Biased expression in testis adult (RPKM 4.1), CNS E14 (RPKM 1.6) and 11 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
