Recent developments of experimental techniques in cellular and
molecular biology have made it possible to understand the molecular
biology of male gametogenesis in greater detail. This book focuses
on the description of specialized proteins, which are dominantly
and/or specifically expressed in germ cells and localized in
spermatozoa. There is an urgent need to classify proteins of
spermatogenic cells with a view of their functions, and their
applications in the regulation of fertility and in understanding
infertility. The understanding of structural properties of male
germ cell specific proteins can offer vulnerable points for
targeted intervention in testis without generalized effects on
stages of spermatogenesis. Besides targeted action in male germ
cells, sperm specific proteins and polypeptides may also offer
potential application in the development of a contraceptive
vaccine.
