Cfap69 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of fertilization; positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility; and response to odorant. Acts upstream of or within sperm axoneme assembly. Located in non-motile cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut gland; nasal cavity epithelium; and spinal cord ventricular layer. Used to study spermatogenic failure 24. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 24. Orthologous to human CFAP69 (cilia and flagella associated protein 69). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Cfap69 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
