Primate Epididymis-Specific Proteins: Characterization of ESC42, a Novel Protein Containing a Trefoil-Like Motif in Monkey and Human
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Epididymal secreted proteins promote sperm maturation and fertilizing capacity by interacting with sperm during passage through the epididymis. Here we investigate the molecular basis of sperm maturation by isolating cDNA clones for novel epididymis-specific expressed sequences. Thirty-six novel cDNAs were isolated and sequenced from a subtracted Macaca mulatta epididymis library. The clones encode proteins with...
