Research Abstract |
Cell adhesion molecule-1(Cadm1) is expressed in only spermatogenic cells. It is involved in spermatogenesis by the interaction with poliovirus receptor expressed in Sertoli cells. Cadm1-deficient mice have male infertility due to defective spermatogenesis, in which abnormal spermatids and apoptotic cells are prominent. In the present study, we identified two adaptor molecules, Bspry and Mpp6, which interact with Cadm1. Both molecules localized in elongating spermatids of the testis
