SMAD expression in the testis: An insight into BMP regulation of spermatogenesis
10 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, extensively influence events that establish male fertility, affecting germ cells and somatic cells throughout fetal and postnatal life. BMP signals are relayed by SMAD proteins, transcription factors that translocate to the nucleus upon ligand stimulation. We show that BMP signaling in the testis may be regulated by...
