Sperm samples were homogenized in 80 μl of an ice-cold lysis buffer containing a cocktail of protease inhibitors and lysed by sonication several times. These homogenates were centrifuged at 12,000×g for 15 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was collected for the quantification of total proteins. Samples with equal protein quantity (50 μg/lane) were electrophoresed on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Beyotime, China). The membranes were blocked with 5% milk for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. After washing with Tris-buffered saline with Tween 20, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Antibodies are listed in Supplementary Table 1.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
