Spaca9 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Located in acrosomal vesicle and ciliary basal body. Is active in axonemal microtubule doublet inner sheath; ciliary base; and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in several structures, including nasal cavity respiratory epithelium; oviduct; respiratory system; spleen; and testis. Orthologous to human SPACA9 (sperm acrosome associated 9).

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 Spaca9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
