Description | Sperm mitochondria differ in morphology and subcellular localization from those of somatic cells. They are elongated, flattened, and arranged circumferentially to form a helical coiled sheath in the midpiece of the sperm flagellum. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the capsule associated with the mitochondrial outer membranes and is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of the helical structure of the sperm's mitochondrial sheath. |
Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of human SMCP (AA: FULL(1-116)) expressed in E. Coli. |
Formulation | Purified antibody in PBS with 0.05% sodium azide. |
Gene ID | 4184 |

Other Names | Sperm mitochondrial-associated cysteine-rich protein, SMCP, MCS, MCSP |
Dilution | E~~1/10000 WB~~1/500 - 1/2000 IF~~1/200 - 1/1000 |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | SMCP Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Synonyms | MCS, MCSP |
Function | Involved in sperm motility. Its absence is associated with genetic background dependent male infertility. Infertility may be due to reduced sperm motility in the female reproductive tract and inability to penetrate the oocyte zona pellucida (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Becomes associated with the spermatid mitochondrion capsule at step 16 of spermatogenesis. |
Tissue Location | Testis. Is selectively expressed in the spermatids of seminiferous tubules. |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene may interact with p53 and may be involved in tumorigenesis. The encoded protein also appears to be important for stem cell proliferation. This protein is found in both the nucleus and nucleolus. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. ; ;
