Deficiency in AK9 causes asthenozoospermia and male infertility by destabilising sperm nucleotide homeostasis
13 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Asthenozoospermia is the primary cause of male infertility; however, its genetic aetiology remains poorly understood. Adenylate kinase 9 (AK9) is highly expressed in the testes of humans and mice and encodes a type of adenosine kinase that is functionally involved in cellular nucleotide homeostasis and energy metabolism. We aimed to assess whether AK9 is involved in asthenozoospermia. METHODS:...
