Summary: Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein localization to centrosome; regulation of cell cycle process; and regulation of metaphase plate congression. Predicted to act upstream of or within establishment of spindle orientation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; kinetochore; and nuclear body. Orthologous to human SPAG5 (sperm associated antigen 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

astrin (spag5) is necessary for the establishment of normal size (cell number) and function of the testis and kidney in rats.
Title: The microtubule-associated protein astrin transgenesis rescues spermatogenesis and renal function in hypogonadic (hgn/hgn) rats.
Spag5 mutation may cause a reduction in mitotic activity and an increase in apoptosis of fetal Sertoli cells in hgn/hgn testes.
Title: Reduced mitotic activity and increased apoptosis of fetal sertoli cells in rat hypogonadic (hgn/hgn) testes.
Different localization of Spag5 in somatic versus male germ cells suggests the possibility of different function.
Title: Rat Spag5 associates in somatic cells with endoplasmic reticulum and microtubules but in spermatozoa with outer dense fibers.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
