Regucalcin is broadly expressed in male reproductive tissues and is a new androgen-target gene in mammalian testis
17 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Regucalcin (RGN) is a calcium (Ca(2)(+))-binding protein which regulates intracellular Ca(2)(+) homeostasis by modulating the activity of enzymes regulating Ca(2)(+) concentration and enhancing Ca(2)(+)-pumping activity. Several studies have described the pivotal role of proper Ca(2)(+) homeostasis regulation to spermatogenesis and male fertility. Recently, RGN was identified as a sex steroid-regulated gene in...
