title: Expression of HSP86 in male germ cells.
abstract: A comparison of HSP84 and HSP86 mRNA expression in adult mouse tissues revealed distinct expression patterns for these highly homologous genes. Particularly striking is the germ cell specificity of HSP86 expression in the testis, suggesting distinct roles for HSP84 and HSP86 with respect to testicular function and development.
