{"symbol":"CATSPER1","synonyms":["SPGF7","CATSPER"],"name":"cation channel, sperm associated 1","description":"Calcium ions play a primary role in the regulation of sperm motility. This gene belongs to a family of putative cation channels that are specific to spermatozoa and localize to the flagellum. The protein family features a single repeat with six membrane-spanning segments and a predicted calcium-selective pore region.
