**Background of CATSPER1 Recombinant Protein**
CATSPER1 is a key subunit of the CATSPER channel complex, a sperm-specific, pH-dependent calcium ion channel critical for sperm hyperactivation, motility, and fertilization. This transmembrane protein is exclusively expressed in the principal piece of the sperm flagellum and plays a pivotal role in regulating calcium influx during sperm capacitation. Mutations in the *CATSPER1* gene are linked to male infertility due to impaired sperm function.
Recombinant CATSPER1 protein is engineered to study the structure, function, and regulation of the CATSPER channel. Produced via heterologous expression systems (e.g., HEK293 cells or insect cells), it often includes affinity tags (e.g., His-tag) for purification. Its applications span *in vitro* studies to dissect ion selectivity, channel gating mechanisms, and interactions with auxiliary subunits (CATSPERβ, γ, δ) or regulatory proteins.
Research using CATSPER1 recombinant protein has advanced understanding of calcium signaling defects in infertile males. It also aids in drug discovery, enabling high-throughput screening of small molecules to modulate channel activity—potential therapeutics for infertility or non-hormonal contraceptives. Structural studies (cryo-EM, crystallography) leveraging recombinant CATSPER1 have revealed insights into channel architecture and activation by alkalization.
Despite progress, challenges remain, including the channel’s complex heteromeric assembly and instability *in vitro*. Current efforts focus on optimizing recombinant expression to reconstitute full-channel functionality, facilitating mechanistic and translational studies. CATSPER1 recombinant proteins thus serve as vital tools bridging basic reproductive biology and clinical applications.
