Funded Activity Summary

Male infertility is a significant clinical problem affecting one in twenty Australian men. The most common feature associated with this condition is defects in sperm motility. Regulation of sperm motility occurs through the epididymis and upon ejaculation. This study will examine how two kinases, essential for flagella bending, regulate sperm motility. Through the tools developed, we will investigate further defectives in infertile individuals with impaired sperm motility.
