LRRC23 deficiency causes male infertility with idiopathic asthenozoospermia by disrupting the assembly of radial spokes
7 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
Asthenozoospermia (AZS) is the primary cause of infertility in males. The radial spoke (RS) is an axonemal structure, connecting the peripheral doublet microtubules with the central pair of microtubules. This T-shaped multiprotein complex functions as a mechanochemical sensor to promote sperm motility. LRRC23 is a novel subunit of the RS complex that is necessary for flagellar assembly and movement in mice....
