High impact information on Odf2

  • Computer analyses of the structure of the encoded Odf2 protein revealed an overall alpha-helical structure with two regions identical to the dimerization region of the leucine zipper motif [1].
  • In conclusion, the present study identified a conserved gene expressed in meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells; database searches have shown it to be homologous to recently published sequences for an outer dense fiber protein of the sperm tail (Odf2/Odf84) [2].
