Molecular cloning of Odf3 encoding a novel coiled-coil protein of sperm tail outer dense fibers

The outer dense fibers (ODF) are the main cytoskeletal structures of the sperm tail found in animals with internal fecundation. They consist of at least 14 polypeptides from which only a few are identified due to difficulties in isolation of the protein components. Here we report the isolation and m...
