Mouse testes contain a unique form of cytochrome c. As demonstrated by the indirect immunofluorescence technique, the testis-specific cytochrome c is detectable in the primary spermatocyte and in cell types comprising the later stages of spermatogenesis. Interstitial cells, Sertoli cells, and spermatogonia contain the somatic form of cytochrome c, as does heart muscle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
