Model organism evidence

Drosophila (1 reference)

Phosphoproteomic analyses reveal that dTSSK2 coordinates sperm flagella assembly and motility by phosphorylating proteins involved in microtubule organization, organelle assembly, and flagella structure.

Mus musculus (2 references)

Tssk4 is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of sperm flagellum.

In this study, the substrate of TSSK1 and 2, TSKS, was localized during spermiogenesis to the centrioles of post-meiotic spermatids, where it reached its greatest concentration during the period of flagellogenesis.
