Asymmetric Distribution of UCH‐L1 in Spermatogonia Is Associated With Maintenance and Differentiation of Spermatogonial Stem Cells
22 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Asymmetric division of germline stem cells in vertebrates was proposed a century ago; however, direct evidence for asymmetric division of mammalian spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) has been scarce. Here, we report that ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCH-L1) is expressed in type A (A(s), A(pr), and A(al)) spermatogonia located at the basement membrane (BM) of seminiferous tubules at high and low levels,...
