LXR and ABCA1 control cholesterol homeostasis in the proximal mouse epididymis in a cell-specific manner

LXR and ABCA1 control cholesterol homeostasis in the proximal mouse epididymis in a cell-specific manner

Mammalian spermatozoa undergo important plasma membrane maturation steps during epididymal transit. Among these, changes in lipids and cholesterol are of particular interest as they are necessary for fertilization. However, molecular mechanisms regulating these transformations inside the epididymis...
