Background:  A variety of morphological and molecular changes are required for mature spermatozoa formation. These steps are temporally guided by the transcription and translation of several testis-specific genes. SPANX (sperm protein associated with the nucleus, X-linked) family members are sperm and testis specific proteins containing between 97-103 amino acids, whose genes form a cluster on chromosome X. Sharing a high level of sequence similarity, SPANX-A, -B, -C, -D and -E localize to both cytoplasm and nucleus where they are associated with nuclear craters. Tissue specificity: Detected in testis, melanoma and bladder carcinoma.
