| Function | Essential for normal spermatogenesis and male fertility. Required for normal sperm head morphology, acroplaxome formation, acrosome attachment, and acrosome granule stability. May anchor and stabilize acrosomal adherence to the acroplaxome at least in part by facilitating the presence of F-actin in the subacrosomal space. May play an important role in formation and fusion of Golgi-derived vesicles during acrosome biogenesis. |
