Loss of the importin Kpna2 causes infertility in male mice by disrupting the translocation of testis-specific transcription factors

Summary: Karyopherins mediate the movement between the nucleus and cytoplasm of specific proteins in diverse cellular processes. Through a loss-of-function approach, we here examine the role of Karyopherin Subunit Alpha 2 (Kpna2) in spermatogenesis. Knockout male mice exhibited reduced body size and...
