Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable chloride transmembrane transporter activity and organic anion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transport; oxalate transport; and sulfate transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including meiotic cell cycle; monoatomic ion transport; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in sperm annulus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 3. Orthologous to human SLC26A8 (solute carrier family 26 member 8).
