    Summary
    Predicted to enable peptidase activity. Involved in sperm axoneme assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium organization; nucleus organization; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in axoneme. 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, Nov 2024]

    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.
