Gene data

SMCP
Name
sperm mitochondria associated cysteine rich protein
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
HSMCSGEN1, MCS, MCSP

Sperm mitochondria differ in morphology and subcellular localization from those of somatic cells. They are elongated, flattened, and arranged circumferentially to form a helical coiled sheath in the midpiece of the sperm flagellum. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the capsule associated with the mitochondrial outer membranes and is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of the helical structure of the sperm's mitochondrial sheath.
