Based on limited published evidence, CCDC182 (coiled-coil domain containing 182) is annotated with a role in female gonad development according to Gene Ontology. However, recent mouse genome engineering studies indicate that Ccdc182 is dispensable for male reproduction, with knockout males showing normal fertility, testis histology, and sperm morphology 1. The protein's specific molecular function remains unclear, though its testis expression and coiled-coil domain structure suggest potential involvement in cellular organization or protein-protein interactions.
