Background Descriptions | The correlation of anti-sperm antibodies with cases of unexplained infertility implicates a role for these antibodies in blocking fertilization. Improved diagnosis and treatment of immunologic infertility, as well as identification of proteins for targeted contraception, are dependent on the identification and characterization of relevant sperm antigens. The protein expressed by this gene is recognized by anti-sperm antibodies from infertile males. Furthermore, antibodies generated against the recombinant protein block in vitro fertilization. This protein localizes to the acrosomal membrane of spermatids and mature spermatozoa where it is thought to play a role in acrosomal morphogenesis and in sperm-egg binding and fusion, respectively.

Synonyms | SAMP32 |
Function | Plays a role in acrosome formation and establishment of normal sperm morphology during spermatogenesis (PubMed:34172998). Important for male fertility (PubMed:11870081). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome inner membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Primarily found in the equatorial segment of the acrosome (PubMed:11870081). The tyrosine phosphorylated protein localizes to a smaller region within the equatorial segment (By similarity). Also expressed weakly in the principal segment (PubMed:11870081). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D5K8A9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11870081} |
