testis-specific gene 10 protein (testis development protein NYD-SP7, TSGA10, CEP4L)

Function

• may play a role in the sperm tail fibrous sheath
• appears to be processed into 27 kD ( N-terminal) & 55 kD peptide (C-terminal) peptides

Structure

belongs to the CEP135/TSGA10 family

Compartment

• cytoplasm, nucleus, nuclear membrane (putative)
• 27 kD peptide associates with the fibrous sheath in mature spermatozoa & localizes to the principal piece of sperm tail

the 55 kD peptide localizes to the midpiece (putative)

Expression

testis specific
