- Abstract
AIM: To clone a new gene related to human spermatogenesis. METHODS: cDNA probes of embryo and adult testis were used to hybridize the cDNA microarray of adult testis, and the clones of differential hybridization were sequenced and analyzed. RESULTS: A novel isoform of calpastatin exclusively and highly expressed in human adult testis was found. CONCLUSION: A novel isoform of calpastatin expresses in human testis and it is related to spermatogenesis.
