Sperm proteins acquired during epididymal transit: functions and usefulness for diagnostic of man infertiliy.
FY 2011-12
Summary
During the transit along the reproductive tract, spermatozoa acquire new proteins that are involved in the acquisition of fertilizing ability. The first objective of this proposal is to understand the molecular mechanism underlying fertilization and how these newly acquired proteins are involved in this process. The second objective is to use these proteins as markers to understand the aetiology of some cases of men infertility and subfertility.
