A Genome-Wide Analysis of Open Chromatin in Human Epididymis Epithelial Cells Reveals Candidate Regulatory Elements for Genes Coordinating Epididymal Function1
5 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
The epithelium lining the epididymis has a pivotal role in ensuring a luminal environment that can support normal sperm maturation. Many of the individual genes that encode proteins involved in establishing the epididymal luminal fluid are well characterized. They include ion channels, ion exchangers, transporters, and solute carriers. However, the molecular mechanisms that coordinate expression of these genes...
