The Na,K-ATPase α4 isoform from humans has distinct enzymatic properties and is important for sperm motility

22 Jul 2006

Abstract excerpt

In the rat, the Na,K-ATPase alpha4 isoform exhibits unique enzymatic characteristics and is important for sperm motility. In this work, we studied expression, localization and function of alpha4 in human spermatozoa. We show two catalytically active Na,K-ATPase alpha polypeptides with different ouabain affinity and identified expression of alpha1, alpha4, beta1 and beta3 isoforms in the gametes. In addition,...
