Sperm acquire epididymis-derived proteins through epididymosomes

14 Jan 2022

Abstract excerpt

STUDY QUESTION: Are epididymosomes implicated in protein transfer from the epididymis to spermatozoa? SUMMARY ANSWER: We characterized the contribution of epididymal secretions to the sperm proteome and demonstrated that sperm acquire epididymal proteins through epididymosomes. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Testicular sperm are immature cells unable to fertilize an oocyte. After leaving the testis, sperm transit along...
