Spermatogenesis-associated protein 9
SPATA9, spermatogenesis-associated protein 9, or testis development protein NYD-SP16, is a family of eukaryotic proteins associated with sperm production. It is highly expressed in human testis and contains one transmembrane domain. Its localization indicates it is likely to play an important role in testicular development and spermatogenesis and may be an important factor in male infertility.
