== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Auxiliary component of the CatSper complex, a complex involved in sperm cell hyperactivation. Sperm cell hyperactivation is needed for sperm motility which is essential late in the preparation of sperm for fertilization. Required for a distribution of the CatSper complex in linear quadrilateral nanodomains along the flagellum, maximizing fertilization inside the mammalian female reproductive tract. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQP8}.
No Pfam Domain information is available for this gene.
