Androgenic regulation of beta-defensins in the mouse epididymis

7 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The majority of beta-defensin family members are exclusively expressed in the epididymis, and some members have been shown to play essential roles in sperm maturation and fertility in rats, mice and humans. Therefore, beta-defensins are hypothesized to be potential targets for contraception and infertility diagnosis and treatment. Clarifying the regulatory mechanisms for the expression of these genes...
