<i>Mfsd14a</i> ( <i>Hiat1</i> ) gene disruption causes globozoospermia and infertility in male mice
22 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
The Mfsd14a gene, previously called Hiat1, encodes a transmembrane protein of unknown function with homology to the solute carrier protein family. To study the function of the MFSD14A protein, mutant mice (Mus musculus, strain 129S6Sv/Ev) were generated with the Mfsd14a gene disrupted with a LacZ reporter gene. Homozygous mutant mice are viable and healthy, but males are sterile due to a 100-fold reduction in the...
