MKRN2 knockout causes male infertility through decreasing STAT1, SIX4, and TNC expression

Makorin-2 (Mkrn2) is an evolutionarily conserved gene whose biological functions are not fully known. Although recent studies have shed insights on the potential causes of male infertility, its underlining mechanisms still remain to be elucidated. We developed a Mrkn2 knockout mice model to study th...
