<i>PATZ1</i> gene has a critical role in the spermatogenesis and testicular tumours
4 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
PATZ1 is a recently discovered zinc finger protein that, due to the presence of the POZ domain, acts as a transcriptional repressor affecting the basal activity of different promoters. To gain insights into its biological role, we generated mice lacking the PATZ1 gene. Male PATZ1(-/-) mice were unfertile, suggesting a crucial role of this gene in spermatogenesis. Consistently, most of adult testes from these mice...
