Brief description Infertility is surprisingly common and affects 1 in 20 Australian men. Testosterone and its receptor, the androgen receptor, are well known to be essential for spermatogenesis and fertility. We have identified an important regulator protein (ATRX) of androgen receptor activity and show that loss of function of ATRX in testes of mice leads to spermatogenesis defects. Identifying the molecular action of ATRX will lead to a better understanding of the underlying causes of infertility in men.
