These results clearly show that SPAM1 mRNA is synthesized in the human caput/corpus and the macaque corpus and cauda epididymides.
Our lab reported a significant increase of Spam1 in caudal mouse sperm compared to caput ones [ 10 ] . This finding led to the discovery that Spam1 is also expressed in all three regions of the mouse epididymis: epididymal Spam1 and its transcript were found in both wild-type and sperm-free mutant (germ cell-deficient) mice as well as in cultured epididymal epithelial cells, completely eliminating the possibility that the protein is merely being transported into the epididymis [ 11 12 ] . Expression was shown to be in the principal cells of the epididymal epithelium and to occur preferentially in the distal regions of the tract.

Androgen binding protein (ABP) is produced by Sertoli cells of the testis, secreted into the lumen of seminiferous tubules, and transported with tubular fluid to the epididymis, where it is internalized and degraded by the epithelial cells of the initial segment and the caput; it binds testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone and estradiol with high affinity [ 9 10 11 ] .
