Olfactory Receptors in Semen and in the Male Tract: From Proteome to Proteins

Olfactory Receptors in Semen and in the Male Tract: From Proteome to Proteins

The estimated number of testicular olfactory receptors (ORs) in mammals range between 20 and 66. Previous data reported the role of hOR17-4 and mOR23 in sperm–oocyte chemiotaxis. Proteomic analysis was performed to understand which are the ORs expressed in seminal plasma. Seminal samples by four fer...
