Mouse Gene Set: GOCC_PERINUCLEAR_THECA

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOCC_PERINUCLEAR_THECA

Standard name GOCC_PERINUCLEAR_THECA
Systematic name MM18069
Brief description A condensed cytoplasmic structure that covers the nucleus of mammalian spermatozoa except for a narrow zone around the insertion of the tail. It shows two distinct regions, a subacrosomal layer and, continuing caudally beyond the acrosomic system, the postacrosomal sheath. The perinuclear theca has been considered a cytoskeletal scaffold responsible for maintaining the overall architecture of the mature sperm head; however, recent studies indicate that the bulk of its constituent proteins are not traditional cytoskeletal proteins but rather a variety of cytosolic proteins.
