Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit male sterility, low sperm motility, abnormalities in sperm head, midpiece and mitochondrial sheath morphology, and a spermiation defect associated with impaired elimination of spermatid cytoplasm, excess residual cytoplasm, and increased apoptosis in spermatozoa.
