Gene information for TEKT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID83659
Official gene symbolTEKT1
Full nametektin 1
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis 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.
