Ectopic expression of the mitochondrial protein COXFA4L3 in human sperm acrosome and its potential application in the selection of male infertility treatments
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Spermatogenesis requires a large amount of energy, which is primarily produced by the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. Mitochondrial dysfunction affects male infertility, suggesting a relationship between the electron transfer chain and male infertility. COXFA4L3 (C15ORF48) is an emerging subunit protein of cytochrome oxidase specifically expressed in germ cells during spermatogenesis, and it may...
