Also Known as KRP; Hash; Mash; 1700062C23Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 67946

Summary

Enables Myosin light chain binding activity. Involved in motile cilium assembly and spermatogenesis. Located in sperm connecting piece. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human SPATA6 (spermatogenesis associated 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
