Summary: Enables microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization; and stress fiber assembly. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; lateral wall of outer hair cell; and sperm principal piece. Is expressed in cochlea. Orthologous to human SPAG6 (sperm associated antigen 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

This novel report demonstrates the requirement of Spag6l for optimal synapse formation and function.
Title: Impaired immunological synapse in sperm associated antigen 6 (SPAG6) deficient mice.
SPAG6 binds to prestin in vivo and contributes to fix prestin biomolecules in lateral plasma membrane of outer hair cells.
Title: Expression of prestin in OHCs is reduced in Spag6 gene knockout mice.
SPAG6 is a S-SOX5 target gene, indicating a key role for S-SOX5 in the formation and function of motile cilia.
Title: Transcriptional regulation of an axonemal central apparatus gene, sperm-associated antigen 6, by a SRY-related high mobility group transcription factor, S-SOX5.
Spag6 is most abundantly expressed in tissues rich in highly ciliated cells, such as olfactory sensory neurons, and is predicted to be important to cilia.
Title: Tissue expression patterns identify mouse cilia genes.
Spag6 is essential for sperm flagellar motility and that it is important for the maintenance of the structural integrity of mature sperm. The occurrence of hydrocephalus in the mutant mice also implicates Spag6 in the motility of ependymal cilia.
Title: Male infertility, impaired sperm motility, and hydrocephalus in mice deficient in sperm-associated antigen 6.
Data describe the cloning of human and mouse Pf20 proteins that interact with Spag6 protein.
Title: A sperm-associated WD repeat protein orthologous to Chlamydomonas PF20 associates with Spag6, the mammalian orthologue of Chlamydomonas PF16.
Accelerated mortality from hydrocephalus and pneumonia in mice with combined deficiency of Spag6 and Spag16L reveals a functional interrelationship between the two central apparatus proteins.

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.
