Identification and characterization of testis specific ornithine decarboxylase antizyme (OAZ‐t) gene: expression in haploid germ cells and polyamine‐induced frameshifting

Abstract

Results indicate that the expression of OAZ-t is controlled at both transcriptional and translational levels, and that OAZ-t likely plays a key role in spermatogenesis by regulating the intracellular concentration of polyamines in haploid germ cells.
