The Hook1 gene is non-functional in the abnormal spermatozoon head shape (azh) mutant mouse

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

In mice carrying the autosomal recessive mutation 'abnormal spermatozoon head shape' (azh) all spermatozoa display a highly abnormal head morphology that differs drastically from the compact and hook-shaped head of the normal murine sperm. Moreover, the azh mutation causes tail abnormalities often resulting in coiled sperm tails or in the decapitation of the sperm head from the flagellum. We have isolated and...
