Source: NCBI Gene (ID 27285)
Symbol: TEKT2
Full name: tektin 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: TEKTB1; TEKTIN-T; h-tektin-t
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 expressed in the testis and its protein is localized to the flagella of the sperms, indicating that it may play a role in spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
