Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha Is Essential in Postnatal Sertoli Cells but Not in Germ Cells
4 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Retinoic acid signaling is indispensable for the completion of spermatogenesis. It is known that loss of retinoic acid nuclear receptor alpha (RARA) induces male sterility due to seminiferous epithelium degeneration. Initial genetic studies established that RARA acts in Sertoli cells, but a recent paper proposed that RARA is also instrumental in germ cells. In the present study, we have re-assessed the function...
