physiological function | GC-1 spermatogonia cells show a marked increase in proliferation after transfection with GPAT4. Cell cycle analysis shows a decrease in the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase and an increase in the S phase. Thus, GPAT4 might play an important role in spermatogenesis, especially in mid-meiosis | Mus musculus |
