High impact information on PFN4

  • Profilin IV thus may regulate testicular actin cytoskeleton dynamics and play a role in acrosome generation and spermatid nuclear shaping [1].
  • In the human testis, profilin IV mRNA expression correlates with the presence of germ cells suggesting that it may be a suitable molecular diagnostic parameter to supplement conventional histopathological diagnostics in the assessment of testicular biopsies [1].
