description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in flagellated sperm motility and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within maintenance of protein complex location and spermatid cytoplasm removal during spermiation of flagellated sperm. Is active in outer dense fiber.
