Expression and distribution of CD151 as a partner of alpha6 integrin in male germ cells
9 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
The physiological importance of CD151 tetraspanin is known from somatic cells and its outside-in signalling through integrins was described. In male germ cells, two tetraspanins, CD9 and CD81, are involved in sperm-egg membrane fusion, and similarly to integrins, they occupy characteristic regions. We report here on a newly discovered presence of CD151 in sperm, and present its expression and distribution during...
