In general, the expression of the enzyme activity was less robust in the epididymis compared to the testis, and inconclusive for the vas deferens.
The vas deferens of both species seemed to have lower amounts of SPAM1 than the epididymis.
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 ] . The functions of ABP have been the subject of many reviews [e.g.
Variations in glycosylation patterns have been shown to exist among tissues [ 31 ] and glycosylation levels have been reported to influence hyaluronidase activity of SPAM1 in the mouse and horse [ 10 32 ] . Note that in the mouse, tissue differences in glycosylation patterns have been reported for the testis and epididymis [ 33 ] . It is possible that in the epididymis and vas deferens instead of hyaluronidase activity, a more important role of SPAM1 (which is a glycosidase) may be to modify surface proteins of sperm during their maturation.
Testis sections on the corpus slides were used as positive controls and showed the same color pattern as the epididymis for the presence and absence of the signal (data not shown).
