Gene: SPACA3

Alternate names for this Gene: ALLP17|CT54|LYC3|LYZC|LYZL3|SLLP1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a sperm surface protein that may be involved in adhesion to the egg prior to fertilization. While the encoded protein has significant similarity to lysozyme at the amino acid level, it has no detectable bacteriocidal activity. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2

Description of this Gene: sperm acrosome associated 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
