Rhophilin, a small GTPase Rho‐binding protein, is abundantly expressed in the mouse testis and localized in the principal piece of the sperm tail
19 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
Tissue distribution and cellular localization of rhophilin, a 71 kDa Rho-binding protein, were examined in mice. Rhophilin mRNA was highly expressed in adult testis, but was absent in the testis of W/WV mice deficient in germ cells. An anti-rhophilin antibody detected a band of an expected size in sperm extracts, which was enriched in the tail fraction. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed two lines of striated...
