CATSPER1 cation channel sperm associated 1

Gene ID: 117144, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SPGF7; CATSPER

Summary

Calcium ions play a primary role in the regulation of sperm motility. This gene belongs to a family of putative cation channels that are specific to spermatozoa and localize to the flagellum. The protein family features a single repeat with six membrane-spanning segments and a predicted calcium-selective pore region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
