Function

Bi-allelic Loss-of-function variants cause flagellar axoneme and mitochondrial sheath defects and asthenoteratozoospermia in humans and mice (32791035). Exhibits similar localization to Odf2/Cenexin proteins and is required for the elongation of the primary cilium and sperm midpiece via modulation of the Notch sig ling pathway. (31904090)

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (2 references)

Further analysis demonstrated that the CFAP58 mutation disrupts CP assembly during spermiogenesis, leading to disorganization of axonemal proteins in both human and mouse sperm flagella.
