Septin-12 (SEPTIN12)

Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). Involved in spermatogenesis.

Involved in the morphogenesis of sperm heads as well as the elongation of sperm tails likely implicating the association with alpha- and beta-tubulins (PubMed:24213608). Forms a filamentous arrangement with SEPT7, SEPT6, SEPT2 and likely SEPT4 at the sperm annulus which is needed for the structural integrity and motility of the sperm tail through postmeiotic distinction (PubMed:25588830).
