Modification Notes
Calicin (CCIN) is a 588 amino acid testis specific protein of the sperm head cytoskeleton. Found in the sperm head perinuclear theca, calicin localizes to the postacrosomal calyx and colocalizes with actin in the acrosomal region of round spermatids. Calicin’s ability to form tetramers and higher polymers contributes to the rigid structure of the calyx. Calicin may function as a morphogenetic cytoskeletal element during spermiogenic differentiation, and the absence or deformation of calicin may contribute to sperm malformations such as teratozoospermia. Containing one BACK (BTB/Kelch associated) domain, a BTB (POZ) domain and six Kelch repeats, calicin is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 9, which houses over 900 genes and comprises nearly 4% of the human genome. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, which is characterized by harmful vascular defects, and Familial dysautonomia, are both associated with chromosome 9.
