This gene encodes an epididymal protease inhibitor, which contains both kunitz-type and WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) protease inhibitor consensus sequences. Most WFDC genes are localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene is a member of the WFDC gene family and belongs to the telomeric cluster. The protein can inhibit human sperm motility and exhibits antimicrobial activity against E. coli, and polymorphisms in this gene are associated with male infertility. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream WFDC6 (WAP four-disulfide core domain 6) gene. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
[中文简述(自动翻译):]  这个基因编码的附睾蛋白酶抑制剂,它包含Kunitz型和WAP型四二硫化物核心(WFDC)蛋白酶抑制剂的共有序列。大多数WFDC基因定位于染色体20q12-Q13在两个集群:着丝粒和端粒。此基因是WFDC基因家族的成员,属于端粒群集。该蛋白质能抑制人精子运动并显示出抗大肠杆菌的抗菌活性,并且在该基因多态性与男性不育相关联。通读转录还此基因和下游WFDC6(WAP四二硫化物核心域6)基因之间存在。已发现该基因编码不同亚型的两个转录变异体。 [由RefSeq的,2014年11月提供]
