reproductive system
• sperm count slightly lower at 2-3 months of age but normal at 7-8 months
|
• bend angle between the head/midpiece and principal piece is substantially reduced in capacitated sperm
|
• bicarbonate-evoked activation of sperm is normal
• hyperactivated motility fails to develop
• flagellar amplitudes are substantially lower than for capacitated heterozygote sperm
|
• no litters are produced when males are mated to wild-type or heterozygous females
