Background Information
The AFAF gene (also known as EQTN and C9orf11) encodes a membrane protein that is specifically localized to the acrosomal membrane. AFAF is involved in the process of fertilization and acrosome biogenesis. Expression analysis demonstrates that AFAF is highly expressed in the testis, although minor expression was seen in other tissues. AFAF has 3 isoforms with molecular weights of 14, 29, and 33 kDa. However, one article detected molecular weight between 40-65 kDa in mouse testis (PMID: 19605790).
