Human sperm motility is essential for fertilization and among pathologies underlying male infertility is asthenozoospermia. Nevertheless, mechanisms regulating sperm motility are not completely unraveled.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with overactive bladder (OAB). Detrusor overactivity, a component of OAB, is present in a SCD mouse, but the molecular mechanisms for this condition are not well defined.
The androgen receptor is a transcription factor that plays a key role in the development of prostate cancer, and its interactions with general transcription regulators are therefore of potential therapeutic interest.
Upon growth factor stimulation, PAK1 is recruited to the plasma membrane and activated by a mechanism that requires its phosphorylation at Ser-223 by the protein kinase CK2. However, the upstream signaling molecules that regulate this phosphorylation event are not clearly defined.
