Analysis of Protein Thiol Changes Occurring During Rat Sperm Epididymal Maturation1
20 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
The maturation of spermatozoa throughout the epididymal environment occurs in the complete absence of nuclear protein biosynthesis. As such, these cells rely heavily on posttranslational modifications of existing proteins in order to obtain the potential for fertilization. We have used an OxiCat approach to label both free and oxidized cysteine residues in rat sperm proteins and compared the ratio of...
