male fertility factor kl3 (kl-3) encodes a dynein heavy chain that is a component of a microtubule motor complex. This motor activity is essential only for spermatogenesis. Lack of kl-3 results in loss of the axonemal out dynein arms in the spermatid tail.
Guanylate-binding proteins, such as GBP7, are induced by interferon and hydrolyze GTP to both GDP and GMP (Olszewski et al., 2006 [PubMed 16689661]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2008]

PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU induced allele that segregates with Kl<sup>m1Btlr</sup> exhibit short tibia, femur, and pelvis. [provided by MGI curators]
Predicted to enable beta-glucosidase activity. Predicted to be involved in carbohydrate metabolic process. Expressed in hypodermis and intestine. Used to study kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including congenital lactase deficiency; end stage renal disease; and intracranial embolism. Is an ortholog of human GBA3 (glucosylceramidase beta 3 (gene/pseudogene)) and LCTL (lactase like).
