Overexpression of peroxisomal testis-specific 1 protein induces germ cell apoptosis and leads to infertility in male mice
The overexpression of PXT1 in mouse testis leads to germ cell apoptosis and male infertility. The PXT1 protein contains a functional BH3-motif. PXT1 protein interacts with BAT3, and BAT3 is able to protect cells from PXT1-induced apoptosis
