| Function |
Testis-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase required during spermatid development. Phosphorylates TSKS at 'Ser-288' and SPAG16. Involved in the late stages of spermatogenesis, during the reconstruction of the cytoplasm. During spermatogenesis, required for the transformation of a ring-shaped structure around the base of the flagellum originating from the chromatoid body. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18533145, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20729278}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18495105}. Note=Present in the cytoplasm of elongating spermatids. In spermatozoa, localizes in the equatorial segment, neck, the midpiece and in a specific sperm head compartment (By similarity). In spermatids, concentrates in centrioles during flagellogenesis. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Testis-specific. Present in mature spermatozoa (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18533145, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20729278}.
