Molecular Genetic Analysis of Two Human Sperm Fibrous Sheath Proteins, AKAP4 and AKAP3, in Men With Dysplasia of the Fibrous Sheath
4 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Dysplasia of the fibrous sheath (DFS) is characterized by male infertility, asthenozoospermia, and morphologically abnormal flagella that possess a severely malformed fibrous sheath. In many cases, DFS is familial, suggesting a genetic component. Human AKAP4 and AKAP3 are structural proteins of the fibrous sheath that also function to anchor protein kinase A to this structure via the regulatory subunit of the...
