Description
A variety of morphological and molecular changes are required for mature spermatozoa formation. These steps are temporally guided by the transcription and translation of several testis-specific genes. SPANX (sperm protein associated with the nucleus, X-linked) family members are sperm- and testis-specific proteins containing between 97-103 amino acids, whose genes form a cluster on chromosome X. Sharing a high level of sequence similarity, SPANX-A, -B, -C, -D and -E localize to both cytoplasm and nucleus where they are associated with nuclear craters. SPANX-B (Sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome B/F) is a 103 amino acid protein that is detected in round and elongating spermatids
