Function

edit

The C. elegans gene dpy-19 belongs to the dpy ("dumpy" phenotype)[6] gene class and encodes DPY-19, transmembrane protein with C-linked mannosyltransferase activity.[7][8] In humans, it is highly expressed in testis, and is required for sperm head elongation and acrosome formation during spermatogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with an infertility disorder, spermatogenic failure type 9 (SPGF9).
