CatSper4

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

CatSper4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CATSPER4 gene.[5][6][7] CatSper1 is a member of the cation channels of sperm family of protein. The four proteins in this family together form a Ca2+-permeant ion channel specific essential for the correct function of sperm cells.[8]
