Description
Product Characteristics: TEX14 belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. It contains 3 ANK repeats and 1 protein kinase domain. TEX14 is required for spermatogenesis and male fertility. It may be required for normal structure of the intercellular bridge that connects spermatocytes and spermatogonia. It has no protein kinase activity. This gene is similar to a mouse gene that is expressed in the testis.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is necessary for intercellular bridges in germ cells, which are required for spermatogenesis. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
