(Pro)renin Receptor Is Present in Human Sperm and It Adversely Affects Sperm Fertility Ability
Sperm fertility ability may be modulated by different molecular systems, such as the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Although renin is one of its most relevant peptides, the presence and role of the (pro)renin receptor (PRR) is completely unknown. We have proved for the first time the existence of P...
