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 agglutinating antibodies from an infertile woman. Furthermore, immunization of female rats with the recombinant human protein reduced fertility. This protein localizes to the plasma membrane of germ cells in the testis and to the post-acrosomal plasma membrane of mature spermatozoa. Recombinant polypeptide binds GTP and exhibits GTPase activity. Thus, this protein may regulate GTP signal transduction pathways involved in spermatogenesis and fertilization. Two transcript variants of this gene encode the same protein.

Binds GTP and has GTPase activity. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11517287, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1299558}. |TPR 1| |axonemal dynein complex assembly| |axoneme assembly| |hydrolase activity| |microtubule bundle formation| |single fertilization| |fertilization| |cilium assembly| |cilium organization| |GTP binding| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly| |cell projection assembly| |microtubule cytoskeleton organization| |microtubule-based process| |organelle assembly| |sexual reproduction| |cellular protein-containing complex assembly| |multi-organism reproductive process| |cytoskeleton organization| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |cell projection organization| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |protein-containing complex assembly| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp303|39°C R06 exp303]]|1.9| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
