Key result

Rodent germinal ACE is released from the testicular sperm membrane when sperm enter the epididymis, shifting in molecular weight from 105-110 kDa to 94 kDa.

Implication

Rodent data on germinal ACE maturation may guide human sperm studies; leaves open relevance to fertility or ACE inhibitor effects.

Cite This Study

Métayer et al. (2002) studied Sperm maturation. Epididymal maturation was evaluated on Localization and molecular weight of germinal ACE. Rodent germinal ACE is released from the testicular sperm membrane when sperm enter the epididymis, shifting in molecular weight from 105-110 kDa to 94 kDa.
