      CR43484KO homozygote males show reduced fertility compared to wild-type controls and display severe morphological defects in testes (accumulation of abnormal cotton-like flocculus in their distal part) as well as reduced number of mature spermatozoa in the seminal vesicles. They also exhibit defects in spermatid morphogenesis (mutant testes contain sperm cells adopt an abnormal tadpole shape with the nucleus concentrated at one end of the spermatid head).

      The investment cones of CR43484KO homozygous males are lagging and disorganized during the individualization step of spermatogenesis compared to wild-type.
