Full name: rhophilin associated tail protein 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CT91; ODF6; RHPNAP1; ROPN1A; ropporin

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is found in the fibrous sheath of spermatazoa, where it interacts with rhophilin, a Rho GTPase binding protein. The encoded protein also can bind an A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP110) and a calcium-binding tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated protein (CABYR). This protein may be involved in sperm motility and has been shown to be a cancer-testis antigen in hematologic malignancies. Several transcript variants, some protein-coding and some non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
