Also known as FLJ25974dJ382I10.1
Summary
CFAP206 (cilia and flagella associated protein 206, HGNC:21405) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q15, encoding Cilia- and flagella-associated protein 206 (Q8IYR0). Essential for sperm motility and is involved in the regulation of the beating frequency of motile cilia on the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract.
Involved in sperm axoneme assembly. Predicted to be located in A axonemal microtubule and motile cilium. Predicted to be part of radial spoke. Predicted to be active in axoneme and ciliary basal body.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Essential for sperm motility and is involved in the regulation of the beating frequency of motile cilia on the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract. Required for the establishment of radial spokes in sperm flagella.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cilium axoneme. Cilium basal body.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in testis.
Disease relevance. Spermatogenic failure 102 (SPGF102) [MIM:621387] An autosomal recessive, male infertility disorder characterized by reduced concentration of sperm, and immotile sperm due to multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella, including absent, short, coiled, and irregular-caliber flagella. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the CFAP206 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 60 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
