Purpose: Septins are the major constituents of the annulus, a submembranous ring that
separates the middle and principal pieces of spermatozoa. We previously reported its …

Purpose To find a relationship between absence of annulus and asthenozoospermia in
Iranian men. Methods In the present study, semen samples from 100 asthenozoospermic …

Septins belong to a family of polymerizing GTP-binding proteins that are required for many
cellular functions, such as membrane compartmentalization, vesicular trafficking, mitosis …

SEPT12 is a testis‐specific gene involved in the terminal differentiation of male germ cells.
SEPT12 protein is required for sperm head‐tail formation and acts as a fundamental …

Purpose To investigate the expression pattern of the SEPT7 protein during spermatogenesis
and its potential role in sperm function. Methods We first investigated the expression pattern …

Septins (full name: Septin; symbol name: SEPT) belong to a family of polymerizing GTP
binding proteins that are required for many cellular functions, including membrane …

Asthenoteratozoospermia is the primary cause of infertility in humans. However, the genetic
etiology remains largely unknown for those suffering from severe asthenoteratozoospermia …

Septins are members of the GTPase superfamily, which has been implicated in diverse
cellular functions including cytokinesis and morphogenesis. Septin 12 (SEPT12) is a testis …

It is estimated that 10–15% of couples are infertile and male factors account for about half of
these cases. With the advent of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), many infertile men …

Septins are polymerizing GTP binding proteins required for cortical organization during
cytokinesis and other cellular processes. A mammalian septin gene Sept4 is expressed …
