Human Testis Phosphoproteome Reveals Kinases as Potential Targets in Spermatogenesis and Testicular Cancer

Spermatogenesis is a complex cell differentiation process that includes marked genetic, cellular, functional and structural changes. It requires tight regulation, because disturbances in any of the spermatogenic processes would lead to fertility deficiencies as well as disorders in offspring. To increase our knowledge of signal transduction during sperm development, we carried out a large-scale identification of the phosphorylation events that occur in the human male gonad.
