24 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Spermatozoa are produced in the testis but gain their fertilizing ability during epididymal migration. This necessary step in sperm maturation includes posttranslational modification of sperm membrane proteins that includes protein processing by proteases. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning this epididymal sperm maturation remains unknown. In this study, we focused on transmembrane serine protease 12...
