Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase dTSSK2 regulates sperm motility and male fertility in Drosophila

Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase dTSSK2 regulates sperm motility and male fertility in Drosophila

Abstract Serine/threonine kinases of the TSSK (Testis-Specific Serine/Threonine Kinase) family play crucial roles in spermatogenesis and male fertility across species, but the underlying regulatory mechanism remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel TSSK...
