Study Points to a New Mechanism Underlying Male Infertility – Technology Networks
Researchers show that one particular enzymatic modification of the protein tubulin, called glycylation, is essential to keep sperm swimming in a straight line….
One essential component of each eukaryotic cell is the cytoskeleton. Microtubules, tiny tubes consisting of a protein called tubulin, are part of this skeleton of cells. Cilia and flagella, which are antenna-like structures that protrude from most of the cells in our body, contain many microtubules.
