Protein Domain : Spermatogenesis-associated protein 6

Primary Identifier  IPR027207 Type  Family
Short Name  Spata6
description  Spermatogenesis-associated protein 6 (Spata6) is required for the formation of the two major structures of the sperm connecting piece, the segmented columns and the capitulum. The sperm connecting piece is essential for linking the flagellum to the head during spermatogenesis and the absence of this protein leads to acephalic spermatozoa and sterility [, ]. It may be involved in myosin-based microfilament transport through interaction with myosin subunits [].
