Motile sperm domain containing 3

Motile sperm domain containing 3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MOSPD3 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein with a major sperm protein (MSP) domain. The deletion of a similar mouse gene is associated with defective cardiac development and neonatal lethality. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
