Cfap52 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including microtubule sliding; single fertilization; and spermatid development. Is active in axonemal B tubule inner sheath and sperm midpiece. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus and epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visceral heterotaxy 10. Orthologous to human CFAP52 (cilia and flagella associated protein 52). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cfap52 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
