Function

Leucine-rich repeats and guanylate ki se domain contain (LRGUK ) isoform 1 (LRGUK-1) has a critical role in both sperm head shaping and basal body attachment to the plasma membrane, and in the early aspects of axoneme development. LRGUK-1 dysfunction leads to abnormal manchette formation and movement, and an absence of axoneme extension from the basal body(25781171).
