Abstract excerpt
The manchette, which is the structure that appears around the nuclei of elongated spermatids, is assumed to be involved in nuclear shaping during spermiogenesis and the transport of various proteins between the nucleus and sperm tail. In this report, we describe the molecular cloning and characterization of a mouse spermatid-specific manchette-related protein 1 (Smrp1) from a spermatid-specific subtracted mouse...
