Characterization of NADPH oxidase 5 in equine testis and spermatozoa
27 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in normal sperm function, and spermatozoa possess specific mechanisms for ROS generation via an NAD(P)H-dependent oxidase. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of an NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) in equine testis and spermatozoa. The mRNA of NOX5 was expressed in equine testis as detected by northern blot probed with human NOX5 cDNA and by RT-PCR....
