Osmotic Stress Stimulates Phosphorylation and Cellular Expression of Heat Shock Proteins in Rhesus Macaque Sperm
18 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
The cryosurvival of sperm requires cell signaling mechanisms to adapt to anisotonic conditions during the freezing and thawing process. Chaperone proteins heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) and heat shock protein 90 (HSP 90; recently renamed HSPA and HSPC, respectively) facilitate some of these cell signaling events in somatic cells. Sperm were evaluated for their cellular expression and levels of phosphorylation of...
