Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionspe-8 is predicted to encode a non-receptor tyrosine kinase with a SH2 domain; spe-8 is required for hermaphrodite spermatogenesis or sperm activation but not for male-derived sperm activation (sperm activation is the morphogenesis of a round non-motile spermatid to an amoeboid crawling sperm); however, mutant hermaphrodite spe-8 spermatids can transactivate and form functional sperm during mating with males; genetic and phenotypic evidence suggests that spe-8 acts in a common pathway with spe-12, spe-19, spe-27 and spe-29.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001166
