Involved in spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including mitochondrion; nucleoplasm; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Predicted to be active in cytoskeleton and photoreceptor cell cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 3. Orthologous to human SPATA7 (spermatogenesis associated 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
