KATNAL1 regulation of sertoli cell microtubule dynamics is essential for spermiogenesis and male fertility.
Spermatogenesis is a complex process reliant upon interactions between germ cells (GC) and supporting somatic cells. Testicular Sertoli cells (SC) support GCs during maturation through physical attachment, the provision of nutrients, and protection from immunological attack. This role is facilitated...
