Abstract excerpt
Sperm fibrous sheath (FS) is closely related to sperm maturation, capacitation and motility, and A-kinase anchor protein 4 (AKAP4) is the most abundant protein in sperm FS. Previous studies found incomplete sperm FSs and abnormal flagella in Akap4 knockout mice. Meanwhile, it was reported that the partial deletion in AKAP4 is highly relevant to the dysplasia of the FS in an infertile man, and so far, there is no...
