p125/Sec23-interacting protein (Sec23ip) is required for spermiogenesis
30 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
p125/Sec23ip is a phospholipase A(1)-like protein that interacts with Sec23, a coat component of COPII vesicles that bud from endoplasmic reticulum exit sites. To understand its physiological function, we produced p125 knockout mice. The p125 knockout mice grew normally, but males were subfertile. Sperm from p125-deficient mice had round heads and lacked the acrosome, an organelle containing the enzymes...
