FAM12B Proteins and Enzymes

Testicular sperm are morphologically differentiated but are not progressively motile nor able to fertilize an egg.Post-testicular maturation requires exposure of spermatozoa to the microenvironment of the epididymal lumen.Spermatozoa undergo extensive changes in the epididymis, including enzymatic modifications, loss of pre-existingcomponents and addition of new glycoproteins from epididymal secretions. These modifying proteins and enzymes aresynthesized by epithelial cells lining the ...
