Differential Gene Expression among the Proximal Segments of the Rat Epididymis Is Lost after Efferent Duct Ligation1

Abstract excerpt

The epididymis has traditionally been divided into the caput, corpus, and cauda regions, which are further organized into intraregional segments. In the rat and mouse, these segments have high degrees of transcriptional differentiation, and what has traditionally been called the initial segment of the rat epididymis actually consists of three transcriptionally different intraregional segments.
