		Phenotype	Cluster of two genes four pseudogenes including msp-142 (transcribed).
			[C.elegansII] NMK. Encodes MSP (16kD). Defines cluster of two genes, four pseudogenes including msp-142 (transcribed). [Ward et al. (1988); BA]
		GO_term	GO:0005198	IEA	Inferred_automatically
		Structured_description	Provisional_description	msp-142 encodes a protein that belongs to a family of proteins called the Major Sperm Proteins (MSPs) that is conserved in nematodes; this family consists of closely related, small, basic proteins that make up 15% of sperm protein; this multigene family consists of over fifty genes, including many pseudogenes; MSPs are involved in both extracellular signaling and cytoskeletal functions during reproduction-MSP antagonizes Eph/ephrin signaling, in part, by binding VAB-1 Eph receptor tyrosine kinase on oocytes and sheath cells to promote oocyte maturation and MAPK activation; MSPs assemble into fibrous networks that drive movement of the C. elegans sperm; msp genes are expressed only in late primary spermatocytes.
