Gene: TEKT1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene product belongs to the tektin family of proteins. Tektins comprise a family of filament-forming proteins that are coassembled with tubulins to form ciliary and flagellar microtubules. This gene is predominantly expressed in the testis and in mouse, tektin 1 mRNA was localized to the spermatocytes and round spermatids in the seminiferous tubules, indicating that it may play a role in spermatogenesis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p13.1

Description of this Gene: tektin 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
