CatSper1, is a

Ca2+-permeant ion channel specific essential for the correct function of sperm cells.[8]

Function

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.[9]
