|
| Function |
Does not seem to have NDK kinase activity. Confers protection from cell death by Bax and alters the cellular levels of several antioxidant enzymes including Gpx5. May play a role in spermiogenesis by increasing the ability of late-stage spermatids to eliminate reactive oxygen species (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Specifically expressed in testis germinal cells.
