[作者:Danshina, PV; Geyer, CB; Dai, QS; Goulding, EH; Willis, WD; Kitto, GB; McCarrey, JR; Eddy, EM; O'Brien, DA,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:136-145 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2010年82-1]
- Phosphoglycerate kinase 2 (PGK2), an isozyme that catalyzes the first ATP-generating step in the glycolytic pathway, is encoded by an autosomal retrogene that is expressed only during spermatogenesis. It replaces the ubi...
- Fetal Testis Dysgenesis and Compromised Leydig Cell Function in Tgfbr3 (Betaglycan) Knockout Mice
