TL;DR: It was found that the He1 homolog is a major cholesterol-binding protein in the porcine epididymal fluid and the possibility that the HE1 homology is involved in the regulation of the lipid composition of the sperm membranes during the maturation in epidIDymis is discussed.

TL;DR: An immunocytochemical study showed that this protein was found to bind to the acrosomal region of the epididymal sperm and to disappear during the acosome reaction, which strongly suggest that thisprotein is enzymatically quiescent at least in the porcine epididylal fluid.

TL;DR: Data suggest that the same types of GST isozymes are expressed in the astrocytes and liver, and take part mainly in the detoxification of 4HNE, which is found to be similar to each other.

TL;DR: The cDNA encoding a mouse homologue of porcine epididymis-specific 135kDa alpha-D-mannosidase (MAN2B2, D28521) was cloned from the mouse testis cDNA library and expressed can serve as a good marker for the late stages of type A spermatogonia and may have an important role to play in the early step of sperMatogenesis in mice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the lysosomal type α- d -mannosidase is the predominantly active enzyme in the luminal fluid of porcine epididymis and that it participates in the glycoprotein modification on the sperm surface during epididykal transit.
