Spag6l Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement and plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and stress fiber assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; cytosol; and lateral wall of outer hair cell. Predicted to be active in acrosomal vesicle; cytoskeleton; and sperm principal piece. Orthologous to human SPAG6 (sperm associated antigen 6). [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 rat Spag6l often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
