Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene Lipe, encodes a specific HSL isoform including a 313 amino acid N-terminus encoded by the testis-specific exon T1 Mus musculus

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information generation of mice that express mutant enzyme transgenes only in postmeiotic germ cells on an enzyme-deficient background: one transgene expressed's human enzyme lacking enzyme activity but containing the testis-specific N-terminus, resulting in infertile HSL-/-muttg mice. The other transgene expresses catalytically inactive enzyme with the testis-specific N-terminal peptide, resulting in HSL-/-atg mice. Infertile HSL-/-muttg mice show abnormal histology of the seminiferous epithelium and absence of spermatozoa in the epididymal lumen. In contrast, HSL-/-atg mice have normal fertility and normal testicular morphology Mus musculus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction in male mice, deficiency of hormone sensitive lipase causes deficient spermatogenesis, azoospermia, and infertility Mus musculus
physiological function the catalytic function of hormone-sensitive lipase is essential for spermatogenesis in male mice, while the presence of the enzyme's N-terminal testis-specific fragment is not essential Mus musculus
