GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 731007
Species: Mus musculus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Ptgs2
Name: prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2
Acc ID: DOID:11383
Term: cryptorchidism
Definition: A developmental defect in which a TESTIS or both TESTES failed to descend from high in the ABDOMEN to the bottom of the SCROTUM. Testicular descent is essential to normal SPERMATOGENESIS which requires temperature lower than the BODY TEMPERATURE. Cryptorchidism can be subclassified by the location of the maldescended testis.
Definition Source(s): MESH:D003456
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
