Cylicins are a structural component of the sperm calyx being indispensable for male fertility in mice and human

2022-12-20

Abstract excerpt

Cylicins are testis-specific proteins, which are exclusively expressed during spermiogenesis. In mice and humans, two Cylicins, the gonosomal X-linked Cylicin 1 ( Cylc1/CYLC1 ) and the autosomal Cylicin 2 ( Cylc2/CYLC2) genes have been identified. Cylicins are cytoskeletal proteins with an overall positive charge due to lysine-rich repeats. While Cylicins have been localized in the acrosomal region of round sper...
