Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Probably required during the final stages of sperm tail maturation in the testis and/or epididymis, where extensive disulfide bonding of fibrous sheath (FS) proteins occurs. May be involved in the reduction of disulfide bonds within the sperm FS components. In vitro, it has neither NDP kinase nor reducing activity on disulfide bonds (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:12909633}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Testis-specific. Expressed mainly in round spermatids. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12909633}.
