Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Sperm surface membrane protein that may be involved in sperm-egg plasma membrane adhesion and fusion during fertilization. It could be a potential receptor for the egg oligosaccharide residue N-acetylglucosamine, which is present in the extracellular matrix over the egg plasma membrane. The processed form has no detectable bacteriolytic activity in vitro (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome membrane {ECO:0000305PubMed:15982649}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305PubMed:15982649}. Note=Anterior acrosome in non-capacitated spermatozoa and retained in the equatorial segment and in the luminal face of both the inner and outer acrosomal membranes following capacitation and the acrosome reaction.Isoform 2: Secreted {ECO:0000305}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity The processed form is expressed in sperm (at protein level). Expressed strongly in testis and epididymis and weakly in pancreas. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15982649, ECO:0000269PubMed:16014814}.
