About Spink2

Summary

Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in acrosome assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gamete generation; negative regulation of serine-type endopeptidase activity; and seminiferous tubule development. Located in acrosomal vesicle and neuron projection. Is expressed in intestine; male reproductive gland or organ; oviduct; skin; and tongue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 29. Orthologous to human SPINK2 (serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
