About Smcp

Summary

Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida and penetration of zona pellucida. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in testis. Orthologous to human SMCP (sperm mitochondria associated cysteine rich protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
