Region-specific gene expression profiling along the human epididymis
20 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
During their transit through the epididymis, spermatozoa undergo many biochemical modifications necessary to acquire flagellar motility and fertilizing ability. These modifications, collectively called sperm maturation, are well orchestrated along the epididymis and depend on highly regionalized gene expression patterns. Based on clinical observations, the role of the epididymis in human sperm maturation has been...
