[Correlation of testis/sperm specific thioredoxin-1, 2 and 3 with male reproduction].
Sptrx-1, 2 and 3 are a series of thioredoxins specifically expressed in the testis/sperm. They play a significant role structurally and functionally in the process of spermiogenesis. The genesis and mutation of sptrx-1, 2 and 3 are correlated to male reproduction. Taking sptrx-1, 2 and 3 as the target of study and treatment will open up a new field in the clinical study of male reproduction.
