Extracellular quality control in the epididymis.

Asian journal of andrology - 1 Jul 2007

Cornwall Gail A, von Horsten H Henning, Swartz Douglas, Johnson Seethal, Chau Kim, Whelly Sandra

Abstract excerpt

The epididymal lumen represents a unique extracellular environment because of the active sperm maturation process that takes place within its confines. Although much focus has been placed on the interaction of epididymal secretory proteins with spermatozoa in the lumen, very little is known regarding how the complex epididymal milieu as a whole is maintained, including mechanisms to prevent or control proteins...
