SPATA6 Required for formation of the sperm connecting piece during spermiogenesis. Sperm connecting piece is essential for linking the developing flagellum to the head during late spermiogenesis. May be involved in myosin-based microfilament transport through interaction with myosin subunits. Belongs to the SPATA6 family. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
