Research Abstract |
Gene expression was analyzed in mouse epididymis to clarify molecular mechanisms of topographical functional differentiation of the epididymis. Results were as follows ; 6 genes were identified as epididymis specific genes, 6 genes were identified as caput specific genes, 2 genes were identified as corpus specific genes, 1 gene was identified as a cauda specific gene, and 1 gene was identified as a caput and cauda specific gene.
