The testis-specific serine proteases PRSS44, PRSS46, and PRSS54 are dispensable for male mouse fertility†

Abstract excerpt

High-throughput transcriptomics and proteomics approaches have recently identified a large number of germ cell-specific genes with many that remain to be studied through functional genetics approaches. Serine proteases (PRSS) constitute nearly one-third of all proteases, and, in our bioinformatics screens, we identified many that are testis specific. In this study, we chose to focus on Prss44, Prss46, and Prss54,...
