Sphingomyelin Synthase 1 Is Essential for Male Fertility in Mice.

Sphingomyelin Synthase 1 Is Essential for Male Fertility in Mice.

Sphingolipids and the derived gangliosides have critical functions in spermatogenesis, thus mutations in genes involved in sphingolipid biogenesis are often associated with male infertility. We have generated a transgenic mouse line carrying an insertion in the sphingomyelin synthase gene Sms1, the...
