Analysis of Ppp1cc-Null Mice Suggests a Role for PP1gamma2 in Sperm Morphogenesis1
14 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) consists of four ubiquitously expressed major isoforms, two of which, PP1gamma1 and PP1gamma2, are derived by alternative splicing of a single gene, Ppp1cc. PP1gamma2 is the most abundant isoform in the testis, and is a key regulator of sperm motility. Targeted disruption of the Ppp1cc gene causes male infertility in mice due to impaired spermiogenesis. This study was...
