Aquaporins in the human testis and spermatozoa – identification, involvement in sperm volume regulation and clinical relevance

16 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

Despite the high water-permeability of human spermatozoa, little is known about the identity and the role of aquaporins (AQP) in them or germ cells. Using ejaculates from donors, sperm AQPs were identified by western blotting followed by the analysis of mRNA with RT-PCR. Protein expression in the testis and spermatozoa was localized by immunocytochemistry. Inhibitors were used to investigate the involvement of...
