Rabbit Anti-SPAG16/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Cilia and flagella are comprised of a microtubular backbone, the axoneme, which is organized by the basal body and surrounded by plasma membrane. SPAG16 encodes 2 major proteins that associate with the axoneme of sperm tail and the nucleus of postmeiotic germ cells, respectively (Zhang et al., 2007 [PubMed 17699735]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2008]
Function:
Necessary for sperm flagellar function. Plays a role in motile ciliogenesis. May help to recruit STK36 to the cilium or apical surface of the cell to initiate subsequent steps of construction of the central pair apparatus of motile cilia
Subunit:
Interacts with SPAG6 and STK36
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, flagellum axoneme. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme. Note=Detected on the sperm flagellum axoneme. Detected in the central apparatus of the axoneme. Colocalizes with SPAG6 on microtubules.
Tissue Specificity:
Isoform 1 is detected in testis. Isoform 4 is detected in testis and brain, and at lower levels in kidney, heart, pancreas, thyroid, ovary, adrenal gland, spinal cord, trachea and liver.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated by TSSK2
Similarity:
Contains 7 WD repeats.
