Abstract:SNTs (Suc-1 associated Neurotrophic Factor Targets) are FGF signalling adaptors and crucial activators of the MAP/PI3 kinase pathways via FGFRs. Screening a rat testis library identified snt-2 as a potential ODF component. ODFs are a major constituent of the sperm tail that we hypothesise play an active role in motility. Using western blot analysis I have localised Fgfr-1 to the sperm tail. As such, I propose that Fgf signalling through snt-2 is involved in sperm tail development/function. To test this hypothe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
