Short Name | Katnal1_chordates |
description | This entry represents Katanin p60 subunit A-like 1 (Katnal1) from chordates. Katnal1 regulates microtubule dynamics in Sertoli cells, a process that is essential for spermiogenesis and male fertility. It colocalizes with microtubules throughout the basal and adluminal compartments of Sertoli cells. It severs microtubules in an ATP-dependent manner, promoting rapid reorganisation of cellular microtubule arrays []. |
