Involvement of the prostate and testis expression (PATE)-like proteins in sperm-oocyte interaction
8 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The prostate and testis expression (PATE)-like family of proteins are expressed mainly in the male genital tract. They are localized in the sperm head and are homologous to SP-10, the acrosomal vesicle protein also named ACRV1. Our aim was to characterize the expression and functional role of three PATE-like proteins in the testis and ejaculated sperm. METHODS: The expression and localization of...
