TEKT4P2
Description
The TEKT4P2 (tektin 4 pseudogene 2) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 21.
TEKT4P2 is a gene that encodes a protein found in the fibrous sheath of sperm flagella. The fibrous sheath is a structure essential for proper assembly and function of sperm flagella. Mutations in this gene are linked to male infertility.
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the fibrous sheath, a structure that is required for the proper assembly and function of sperm flagella. It interacts with other proteins in the fibrous sheath, including TEKT4 and AKAP3. Mutations in this gene have been associated with male infertility.
TEKT4P2 is also known as MAFIPL, TEKT4P.
