This protein is about 21 kDa in mass and is expressed specifically in the testis. CATSPERG forms a part of a voltage-gated calcium channel complex that is essential for sperm motility. The unique expression and functional attributes of CATSPERG suggest its central role in reproductive processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe CATSPERG protein interacts with other channel components to modulate calcium entry into sperm cells. CATSPERG forms a complex with other subunits including CATSPER1 CATSPER2 CATSPER3 and CATSPER4 in the sperm flagellum. The complex ensures a controlled flow of calcium ions which is important for various aspects of sperm motility including hyperactivation and the acrosome reaction. These processes are essential for successful fertilization as they enable sperm to penetrate and fertilize the egg.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCATSPERG integrates into the CatSper channel complex pathway which is important for generating the calcium ion influx required for sperm motility. This channel pathway relies on the orchestrated function of CATSPERG with associated proteins such as calmodulin and protein kinase A which further regulate sperm motility and fertility. By affecting calcium ion levels CATSPERG indirectly influences processes like signal transduction during sperm capacitation.\u003cbr\u003e\nDefects in the CATSPERG gene or protein function can link to male infertility due to altered sperm motility. Studies connect disruptions in the CatSper channel complex including CATSPERG with certain types of asthenozoospermia a condition characterized by reduced sperm motility. CATSPERG's relation to other CatSper subunits can help identify potential targets for therapy aimed at treating specific infertility issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850441609385,"sku":"ab173581","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab173581","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
