Autophagy-related proteins are functionally active in human spermatozoa and may be involved in the regulation of cell survival and motility
16 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is an evolutionarily highly conserved cellular process that participates in the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis through the degradation of most long-lived proteins and entire organelles. Autophagy participates in some reproductive events; however, there are not reports regarding the role of autophagy in the regulation of sperm physiology. Hence, the aim of this study...
