Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_1362
Protein Name
Cation channel sperm-associated protein 1
Gene Name
Catsper1
Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Length
686 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q91ZR5-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Voltage-gated calcium channel that plays a central role in sperm cell hyperactivation. Controls calcium entry to mediate the hyperactivated motility; a step needed for sperm motility which is essential late in the preparation of sperm for fertilization. Activated by intracellular alkalinization.
