1.A.1.19.3
Alkalinization-activated, Ca2+-selective cation channel of sperm 1, CatSper1, required for male fertility and the hyperactivated motility of spermatozoa. These channels require auxiliary subunits, CatSper β, γ and δ for activity (Chung et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2007).

Accession Number:Q80W99
Protein Name:Cation channel sperm-associated protein 3 aka Catsper3

Species:Mus musculus (Mouse) [10090]
Number of TMSs:5
Location1 / Topology2 / Orientation3: Cell projection1 / Multi-pass membrane protein2
Substrate calcium(2+)
