Tex101 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; flagellated sperm motility; and regulation of flagellated sperm motility. Located in acrosomal membrane; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in genitourinary system and submandibular gland. Orthologous to human TEX101 (testis expressed 101).

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 Tex101 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
