Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This intronless gene encodes a member of the CAMK (calcium/calmodulin-dependent) serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded kinase has a broad expression pattern but is described as testis-specific due to effects on fertility. Male mice which lack the gene encoding a highly similar protein are sterile and have morphologically abnormal sperm. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012].
- UniProt Summary: Required for sperm production and function. Plays a role in DNA condensation during postmeiotic chromatin remodeling (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q925K9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15870294}.
