Post-translational modifications of seminal proteins and their importance in male fertility potential

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: The seminal proteome has been shown to directly influence the male fertile potential. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are significant changes that play a role in the biological regulation of proteins. Sperm cells are transcriptionally and translationally inactive and these modifications are essential to control protein function.Areas covered: Here we reviewed seven PTMs which importance for...
