Protein composition of human epididymosomes collected during surgical vasectomy reversal: a proteomic and genomic approach

15 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The epididymal epithelium secretes membranous vesicles, called epididymosomes, with which a complex mixture of proteins is associated. These vesicles transfer to spermatozoa selected proteins involved in sperm maturation. Epididymosomes in the human excurrent duct have been described, but their protein composition and possible functions are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: Epididymosomes were collected...
