Expression of SPEF2 During Mouse Spermatogenesis and Identification of IFT20 as an Interacting Protein1

5 Nov 2009

Abstract excerpt

SPEF2 is expressed in all ciliated cells and is essential for correct sperm tail development and male fertility. We have previously identified a mutation within the SPEF2 gene as the cause for infertility because of immotile and malformed sperm tails in pigs. This mutation in pigs alters the testis-specific long SPEF2 isoform and exclusively affects the sperm tail development. In infertile boars, axonemal and all...
