About Catsper2

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium activated cation channel activity; Calcium Channel activity; and voltage-gated ion channel activity. Acts upstream of or within fertilization; flagellated sperm motility; and sperm capacitation. Located in sperm flagellum. Part of CatSper complex. Orthologous to human CATSPER2 (cation channel sperm associated 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
