Epididymosomes: a heterogeneous population of microvesicles with multiple functions in sperm maturation and storage

1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Extracellular microvesicles present in the epididymal fluid have been named epididymosomes. Many epididymosome-associated proteins are transferred to spermatozoa during their maturation in the excurrent duct. Epididymosomes are heterogeneous, with their size varying between 50 and 250 nm. Two distinct population of epididymosomes characterized by different protein compositions and diameters have been isolated...
