Role of epididymal receptor HE6 in the regulation of sperm microenvironment.
HE6 (GPR64) is a highly conserved, tissue-specific heptahelical receptor of the human epididymis. The seven transmembrane (TM7) domains are a hallmark of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which have a proven history of being excellent therapeutic targets. Of all currently marketed drugs, >3...
