Novel testis-expressed profilin IV associated with acrosome biogenesis and spermatid elongation
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
A novel profilin, named profilin IV, was cloned and characterized as a testicular isoform, distinct from the previously described testis-specific profilin III. Profilin IV showed only 30% amino acid identity with the other mammalian profilins; nevertheless, database searches produced significant alignments with the conserved profilin domain. Northern blot analysis and in situ transcript hybridization suggested...
