Mouse Gene Set: GOCC_SPERM_FIBROUS_SHEATH

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOCC_SPERM_FIBROUS_SHEATH

Standard name GOCC_SPERM_FIBROUS_SHEATH
Systematic name MM12251
Brief description A cytoskeletal structure surrounding the axoneme and outer dense fibers of the sperm flagellum. Consists of two longitudinal columns connected by closely arrayed semicircular ribs that assemble from distal to proximal throughout spermiogenesis. The fibrous sheath probably influences the degree of flexibility, plane of flagellar motion, and the shape of the flagellar beat. [GOC:BHF, GOC:cilia, GOC:krc, PMID:20731842, PMID:3282552]
