Protein
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase homolog 5
Function
Does not seem to have NDK kinase activity. Confers protection from cell death by Bax and alters the cellular levels of several antioxidant enzymes including Gpx5. May play a role in spermiogenesis by increasing the ability of late-stage spermatids to eliminate reactive oxygen species (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the NDK family.
