Protein disulfide isomerase homolog PDILT is required for quality control of sperm membrane protein ADAM3 and male fertility
22 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 3 (ADAM3) is a sperm membrane protein critical for both sperm migration from the uterus into the oviduct and sperm primary binding to the zona pellucida (ZP). Here we show that the testis-specific protein disulfide isomerase homolog (PDILT) cooperates with the testis-specific calreticulin-like chaperone, calsperin (CALR3), in the endoplasmic reticulum and plays an indispensable...
