Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Involved in intramanchette transport; manchette assembly; and motile cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within axonemal central apparatus assembly; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and establishment of localization in cell. Located in Golgi apparatus; acrosomal vesicle; and cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nasal cavity respiratory epithelium; respiratory system; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 55. Orthologous to human SPAG17 (sperm associated antigen 17).
