Function | Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. Essential for male fertility and sperm mitochondrial sheath formation (By similarity). Required for proper arrangement of crescent- like mitochondria to form the mitochondrial sheath during spermatogenesis (By similarity). Can induce mitochondrial clustering through interactions with PLD6 and up-regulation of phosphatidic acid synthesis in the mitochondria (PubMed:28852571). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WU65}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WU65}. Cytoplasm. Note=In sperm the majority of the enzyme is bound to mitochondria {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WU65} |
Tissue Location | Testis-specific (PubMed:33536340). Expressed in the midpiece of spermatozoa (PubMed:28852571) |
