Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
 Generic protein structure example |
CatSper4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CATSPER4 gene.[1][2][3] 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.[4]
