Sperm ion channel proteins (CatSpers) are essential for sperm hyperactivated motility, and then penetration through the zona pellucida. The CatSper class of proteins have well been characterized in the mouse and human. However, such data for pigs are not available. In the present study, we cloned the porcine CatSper 1-4 genes, analysed their spatial expression in various organs and temporal expression in the testes from birth until sexual maturity in Meishan boars.

A collection of web tools designed to assist with the analysis of DNA microarray data and results. RACE performs probe level data preprocessing, quality checks, normalization, and visualization for Affymetrix GeneChips. In addition, it performs clustering and differential analysis of normalized expression levels or ratios for arbitrary platforms, and estimates the false discovery rates in lists of potentially regulated genes. A Gene Ontology (GO)-term analysis assists in the biological interpretation of gene lists. The user can customize each analysis request; upon submission the analysis is executed in a fully automated way.
