Intraflagellar transporter protein 140 (IFT140), a component of IFT‐A complex, is essential for male fertility and spermiogenesis in mice
13 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a conserved mechanism essential for the assembly and maintenance of most eukaryotic cilia and flagella. However, little is known about its role in sperm flagella formation and male fertility. IFT140 is a component of IFT-A complex. In mouse, it is highly expressed in the testis. Ift140 gene was inactivated specifically in mouse spermatocytes/spermatids. The mutant mice did not...
