Tissue Specificity | Testis-specific. Expressed in the midpiece of spermatozoa. |
Function | Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. Essential for male fertility and sperm mitochondrial sheath formation. Required for proper arrangement of crescent-like mitochondria to form the mitochondrial sheath during spermatogenesis. Can induce mitochondrial clustering through interactions with PLD6 and up-regulation of phosphatidic acid synthesis in the mitochondria. |
