The association of ODF4 with AK1 and AK2 in mice is essential for fertility through its contribution to flagellar shape

Abstract Normal sperm flagellar shape and movement are essential for fertilization. The integral protein outer dense fiber 4 (ODF4) localizes to ODFs, but its function remains unclear. Adenylate kinase (AK) is a phosphotransferase that catalyzes the interconversion and controls the concentration equ...
