Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n AXDND1 is an axonemal dynein light chain domain‐containing protein that is expressed in a testis‐enriched pattern—specifically in round and elongating spermatids—where it plays an essential role in spermiogenesis. Functional studies have demonstrated that AXDND1 localizes to the manchette, a transient microtubule‐based structure that is critical for proper sperm head shaping and the assembly of the sperm flagellum and its accessory structures. Disruption of AXDND1, either through deleterious mutations or gene knockout, results in multiple defects in late spermatid development, including abnormal head deformation, deficiencies in the formation of outer doublet microtubules, and loss of structures such as the outer dense fiber and mitochondria sheath. These abnormalities contribute to impaired sperm motility, increased germ cell apoptosis, and subsequent male infertility, with the phenotypic features resembling oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (1,2).\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n <small>\n (1)"}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ", (2)"}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "</small>\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Yuki Hiradate, Ryua Harima, Rin Yanai, et al.
