Relationship between sperm motility and the processing and tyrosine phosphorylation of two human sperm fibrous sheath proteins, pro-hAKAP82 and hAKAP82
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Sperm motility is regulated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase-A)-mediated phosphorylation of a group of largely unidentified flagellar proteins. Human AKAP82 (hAKAP82) and its precursor protein, pro-hAKAP82, are members of the A-kinase anchor protein (AKAP) family. These proteins tether protein kinase-A to the fibrous sheath of human spermatozoa and presumably localize the activity of the...
