CatSper3

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

CatSper3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CATSPER3 gene.[5][6][7][8] CatSper3 is a member of the cation channels of sperm family of proteins. The four proteins in this family together form a Ca2+-permeant ion channel specific essential for the correct function of sperm cells.[9]
