The murine calgizzarin like gene (Cal) encodes for a calcium binding protein, which belongs to the S100 family of EF-hand proteins. It is specifically expressed in Sertoli cells in the testis and its expression is down-regulated by unknown factor(s) from spermatocytes/spermatids. In this paper, we show by transfection of a fusion protein of green fluorescent protein and Cal protein into NIH3T3 cells, that the...
