Accumulation of glucosylceramide in murine testis, caused by inhibition of beta-glucosidase 2: implications for spermatogenesis.
- Abstract:
-
One of the hallmarks of male germ cell development is the formation of a specialized secretory organelle, the acrosome. This process can be pharmacologically disturbed in C57BL/6 mice, and thus infertility can be induced, by small molecular sugar-like compounds (alkylated imino sugars). Here the biochemical basis of this effect has been investigated. Our findings suggest that in vivo alkylated imino sugars primarily interact with the non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase. This enzyme cleaves gluco...
