In males, important for ADAM2 processing as well as other acrosomal proteins with roles in fertilization and critical for normal fertilization events such as sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction and binding of sperm to zona pellucida (By similarity). Plays also a role in female fertility, involved in the regulation of trophoblast migration and placental development, may be through the proteolytical processing and activation of proteins such as IGF2 (PubMed:16040806). May also participate in folliculogenesis in the ovaries (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16040806}. |Peptidase S8| |P proprotein| |acrosomal membrane| |acrosome reaction| |sperm capacitation| |peptide hormone processing| |binding of sperm to zona pellucida| |sperm-egg recognition| |integral component of Golgi membrane| |cell-cell recognition| |acrosomal vesicle| |single fertilization| |spermatid development| |spermatid differentiation| |protein processing| |cell maturation| |serine-type endopeptidase activity| |trans-Golgi network| |fertilization| |hormone metabolic process| |protein maturation| |cell recognition| |developmental maturation| |germ cell development| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |peptide metabolic process| |regulation of hormone levels| |spermatogenesis| |male gamete generation| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |gamete generation| |cellular amide metabolic process| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |multi-organism reproductive process| |proteolysis| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |cell development| |membrane| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp187|proTAME 5μM R04 exp187]]|1.75| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.442| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 4021 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: -0.1 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
