Identification of several proteins involved in regulation of sperm motility by proteomic analysis.
Proteomic technology was used to compare sperm protein expression profiles in asthenozoospermic patients with that of normozoospermic donors and 10 differentially expressed proteins were identified. These proteins may play roles in the regulation of sperm motility, and their characterization could merit further investigation on sperm motility-related male factor infertility.
