The protein has a mass of approximately 38 kDa. Researchers have observed its expression mainly in tissues with motile cilia such as the respiratory tract and reproductive system. It is essential for proper ciliary movement contributing to the physical structure and movement capability of cilia and flagella.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAs part of motility mechanisms SPEF1 plays a role in the assembly and stabilization of the axoneme the core structure of cilia and flagella. This protein is an axonemal protein that interacts with microtubules facilitating the sliding of microtubule doublets necessary for ciliary beating. SPEF1 does not act alone; it works within a multi-protein complex that includes other ciliary proteins to ensure effective ciliary and flagellar function.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSPEF1 participates in pathways involved in respiratory cilia function and sperm motility. Within these pathways its role is connected to proteins such as dynein and kinesin which are also involved in microtubule-based movements. These pathways are essential for proper respiratory function and fertility due to their involvement in the movement and fluid clearance by cilia as well as sperm motility.\u003cbr\u003e\nSPEF1 dysregulation links to primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and some infertility cases. PCD results from mutated components of the axoneme impacting SPEF1 along with other proteins like DNAI1. These conditions illustrate the importance of functional ciliary and flagellar proteins for respiratory health and reproduction. Understanding the exact role of SPEF1 in these disorders helps in the development of targeted therapies and diagnostic tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850094366889,"sku":"ab151100","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab151100","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
