Name

CYLC1 Gene

cylicin, basic protein of sperm head cytoskeleton 1

This gene encodes a sperm head cytoskeletal protein. The encoded protein is associated with the calyx of spermatozoa and spermatids. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

CYLC2 Gene

cylicin, basic protein of sperm head cytoskeleton 2

Cylicin II (CYCL2) is specifically expressed in testis and is part of the cytoskeletal calyx of mammalian sperm heads. Cylicin II may play a role in the morphogenesis of the sperm head. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
