Sperm mitochondria differ in morphology and subcellular
localization from those of somatic cells. They are elongated,
flattened, and arranged circumferentially to form a helical coiled
sheath in the midpiece of the sperm flagellum. The protein encoded
by this gene localizes to the capsule associated with the
mitochondrial outer membranes and is thought to function in the
organization and stabilization of the helical structure of the
sperm's mitochondrial sheath.1) Yatsenko, A.N., et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 15(23):3411-3419(2006)
