Background
This intronless gene encodes a member of the CAMK (calcium/calmodulin-dependent) serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded kinase has a broad expression pattern but is described as testis-specific due to effects on fertility. Male mice which lack the gene encoding a highly similar protein are sterile and have morphologically abnormal sperm. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,function:Required for sperm production and function. Plays a role in DNA condensation during postmeiotic chromatin remodeling.,PTM:Autophosphorylated.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subunit:Interacts with the heatshock proteins HSPCB, HSPA8 and HAPA1A. These interactions appear to be required for TSSK6 kinase activity.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in testis. Expressed at lower levels in human colon, small intestine, ovary, prostate, thymus, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes.,
