motifs/domains
  • a conserved tektin domain
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to sea urchin tektin A1
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • occludin/ELL family
  • tektin family
  • CATEGORY motor/contractile , structural protein
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule,centrosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • cilia and centriole formation
  • microtubule-associated cytoskeletal protein expressed primarily in the male germ cell-lineage in centrioles and basal bodies and within ciliary and flagellar doublet microtubules
  • male germ cell-enriched protein that it might perform important roles in male reproductive development and physiology
  • important role in male reproductive development and physiology
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell organization/biogenesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • expressed in round spermatids in mouse
  • male mice null for TEKT3 produce sperm with reduced motility (47.2p100 motility) and forward progression, and increased flagellar structural bending defects
