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, Dec 2024]
Annotation information: Note: There was a controversy about whether this gene encoded a selenoprotein, named mitochondrial capsule selenoprotein. A later study showed that not to be true and renamed it, sperm mitochondria-associated cysteine-rich protein (PMID:8916043). [04 Aug 2017]
Expression: Restricted expression toward testis adult (RPKM 1377.0) See more

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.
