Rabbit Anti-SPATA16/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a testis-specific protein that belongs to the tetratricopeptide repeat-like superfamily. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi apparatus and may play a role in spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Function:
SPATA16 is involved in the formation of sperm acrosome, which implicated its potential role in spermatogenesis and sperm-egg fusion. Defects in SPATA16 are a cause of globozoospermia; also called Round-headed spermatozoa.
Subunit:
Involved in the formation of sperm acrosome, which implicated its potential role in spermatogenesis and sperm-egg fusion.
Subcellular Location:
Golgi apparatus
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in testis.
Similarity:
Belongs to the SPATA16 family.
