Name | TCP11 |
---|---|
Function | Plays a role in the process of sperm capacitation and acrosome reactions. Probable receptor for the putative fertilization- promoting peptide (FPP) at the sperm membrane that may modulate the activity of the adenylyl cyclase cAMP pathway. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, cilium, flagellum {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q01755}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q01755}. Note=Localizes on the acrosomal cap region of acrosome-intact, but not acrosome-reacted sperm. Colocalizes with MROH2B and PRKACA on the acrosome and tail regions in round spermatids and spermatozoa regardless of the capacitation status of the sperm. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q01755} |
Tissue Location | Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed in sperm. Isoform 1 is not detected in sperm (at protein level) (PubMed:21597245). Testis-specific (PubMed:11756566). Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed in sperm (PubMed:21597245) |
