Sperm-associated antigen 5
Introduction
Sperm-associated antigen 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPAG5 gene.[1][2]
This gene encodes a protein associated with the mitotic spindle apparatus. The encoded protein may be involved in the functional and dynamic regulation of mitotic spindles.[2]
