DESCRIPTION

Also known as MSP19_CAEEL, msp-19, msp-31, msp-40, msp-45, msp-50, msp-51, msp-53, msp-59, msp-64, msp-65, msp-81, msp-113, msp-142. Central component in molecular interactions underlying sperm crawling. Forms an extensive filament system that extends from sperm villipoda, along the leading edge of the pseudopod. Helical subfilaments are built from MSP dimers; filaments are formed from two subfilaments coiling round one another; and filaments themselves supercoil to produce bundles.
