New Map Tracks Protein Expression in Human Tissues (2 of 8)

Caption

ACRV1 (Acrosomal vesicle protein 1), expressed in testis, associated with the acrosomal membranes in the head of the sperm. IMAGE TISSUE: testis. Image shows testis with expression in late stage spermatogenesis, acrosomal structures in spermatids. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 23, 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Uhlén at KTH--Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and colleagues was titled, "Tissue-based map of the human proteome."
