    Summary
    This gene belongs to the calreticulin family, which includes calreticulin, calnexin, and calmegin, and encodes a calcium-binding molecular chaperone specifically expressed in pachytene stage male germ cells. It is required for the proper folding of newly synthesized membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum including those critical for sperm migration from the uterus into the oviduct and sperm adhesion to and penetration of the zona pellucida. This gene plays a key role in spermatogenesis and male infertility. Alternative splice variants exist for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

    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.
