Mouse spermatogenic cell-specific type 1 hexokinase (mHk1-s) transcripts are expressed by alternative splicing from themHk1 gene and the HK1-S protein is localized mainly in the sperm tail

Abstract excerpt

Unique type 1 hexokinase (HK1) mRNAs are present in mouse spermatogenic cells (mHk1-s). They encode a spermatogenic cell-specific sequence region (SSR) but not the porin-binding domain (PBD) necessary for HK1 binding to porin on the outer mitochondrial membrane. This study determined the origin of the multiple Hk1-s transcripts in mouse spermatogenic cells and verified that they are translated in mouse...
