Downregulated SPESP1-driven fibroblast senescence decreases wound healing in aged mice.
Title: Downregulated SPESP1-driven fibroblast senescence decreases wound healing in aged mice.
The present study identified SPESP1 in the acrosome as the primary binding target of Peanut agglutinin (PNA) in the mouse testis. Further defining the specific lectin-glycoprotein relationships in individual cells will enhance the value of lectin histochemistry.
Title: Identification of sperm equatorial segment protein 1 in the acrosome as the primary binding target of peanut agglutinin (PNA) in the mouse testis.
These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that SPSPESP1 undergoes significant glycosylation in the testis and that the majority of these glycoconjugates are removed by the time sperm reach the caput epididymis.
Title: Dynamic Changes in Equatorial Segment Protein 1 (SPESP1) Glycosylation During Mouse Spermiogenesis.
SPESP1 is necessary to produce the fully 'fusion competent' sperm.
Title: Sperm equatorial segment protein 1, SPESP1, is required for fully fertile sperm in mouse.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
