Molecular characterization of epididymal proteins (original) (raw)

The paper focuses on the molecular characterization of epididymal proteins involved in sperm maturation and storage. It highlights various methods used to study these proteins, including biochemical analyses and cDNA cloning, and notes the localization of specific protein markers on spermatozoa and within the epididymis. Despite the identification of several human epididymal proteins and their expression patterns, a definitive link to specific functions in sperm maturation has yet to be established.
