Abstract
Human PhLP3, called TXNDC9, is a highly conserved protein within the eukaryotic domain but its function remains unknown. Previous work in our lab leads us to hypothesize that PhLP3 associates with microtubules and may be involved in the cytoskeletal organization of developing sperm, thus contributing to male fertility. This is a multi-database research project on the protein expression of PhLP3 in human cells, and a delve into relevant recent research findings, in preparation for an upcoming project in the Kanzok lab involving human PhLP3 overexpression to determine whether it binds to microtubules.

I am currently studying at the John Felice Rome Center in Italy, which explains the online nature of this project and why I was unable to continue work in the lab this semester.
