The SPATA16 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC015162) is a valuable tool for research involving SPATA16, a protein involved in spermatogenesis and fertility. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and reactivity with human samples, making it suitable for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the SPATA16 protein, this antibody allows for accurate detection and analysis in various cell types, facilitating studies in reproductive biology and infertility research.SPATA16, also known as Spermatogenesis-Associated 16, plays a crucial role in the process of sperm production and male fertility.
Understanding the function of SPATA16 is essential for advancing knowledge in reproductive health and developing interventions for infertility treatment. Research on SPATA16 may lead to insights into male infertility mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for improving reproductive outcomes.Overall, the SPATA16 Polyclonal Antibody is a valuable tool for researchers studying spermatogenesis, fertility, and reproductive health. Its specificity and sensitivity make it an ideal choice for investigations into the role of SPATA16 in infertility and male reproductive disorders.

Background:
This gene encodes a testis-specific protein that belongs to the tetratricopeptide repeat-like superfamily. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi apparatus and may play a role in spermatogenesis. The SPATA16 protein contains a region of homology to the mouse male enhanced antigen-2, a SCOP domain belonging to the tetratricopeptide repeat-like superfamily, 3 glycosylation sites, and several phosphorylation sites. The mouse and human proteins share 77% sequence identity. Northern blot analysis of multiple human tissues detected a strong signal in testis and weak expression in pancreas and kidney. Laser confocal microscopy localized a GFP-SPATA16 fusion protein specifically to the Golgi apparatus.

UniProt Protein Function:
SPATA16: Involved in the formation of sperm acrosome, which implicated its potential role in spermatogenesis and sperm-egg fusion. Defects in SPATA16 are the cause of spermatogenic failure type 6 (SPGF6); also known as round-headed spermatozoa. An infertility disorder caused by spermatogenesis defects. The most prominent feature is the malformation of the acrosome, which can be totally absent in most severe cases. Additional features are an abnormal nuclear shape and abnormal arrangement of the mitochondria of the spermatozoon. An autosomal recessive variation of SPATA16 has been shown to be responsible for the disease in a consanguineous family with members homozygous for the variation. Belongs to the SPATA16 family.Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q26.31Disease: Spermatogenic Failure 6
