Protein Details: Cation channel sperm-associated auxiliary subunit beta
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_0031
Protein Name
Cation channel sperm-associated auxiliary subunit beta
Gene Name
Catsperb
Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Length
1109 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-A2RTF1-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Auxiliary component of the CatSper complex; a complex involved in sperm cell hyperactivation. Sperm cell hyperactivation is needed for sperm motility which is essential late in the preparation of sperm for fertilization.
