Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a member of the family of serine protease inhibitors of the Kazal type (SPINK). The encoded protein acts as a trypsin and acrosin inhibitor in the genital tract and is localized in the spermatozoa. The protein has been associated with th

Protein name Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 2 (Acrosin-trypsin inhibitor) (Epididymis tissue protein Li 172) (HUSI-II)
Protein function As a strong inhibitor of acrosin, it is required for normal spermiogenesis. It probably hinders premature activation of proacrosin and other proteases, thus preventing the cascade of events leading to spermiogenesis defects (PubMed:28554943). Ma
