Fig. 7. Schematic representation of wild-type and mdx3cv spermatozoa showing the localization of Dp71
DAPC or Up71
DAPC. Dp71 or Up71 complex and SAPs (ion channels and nNOS) are based on indirect immunofluorescence localization and western blotting detection in whole spermatozoa, demembranated spermatozoa and plasma membrane data.
-Syn,
-syntrophin; AR, acrosome region; ß-Dg, ß-dystroglycan; Dp71, short dystrophin non-spliced for exon 78; K+Chn, K+ channel (Kv1.1); MDP, middle piece; Na+Chn, Na+ channel (µ1); nNOS, neural nitric oxide synthase; PAR, postacrosomal region; PCP, principal piece; PM, plasma membrane; Up71, short utrophin.
