Ttc21a Gene Summary [Mouse]

Involved in flagellated sperm motility and spermatid development. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in 4th ventricle; choroid plexus; lateral ventricle choroid plexus; and olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 37. Orthologous to human TTC21A (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 21A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ttc21a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Tetratricopeptide repeats
  • putative PEP-CTERM system TPR-repeat lipoprotein
  • tetratricopeptide repeat
