CatSper1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CATSPER1 gene.^[5]^[6]^[7] CatSper1 is a member of the cation channels of sperm family of protein. The four proteins in this family together form 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]
