Atce1 belongs to the CREB3/LZIP subtype of the ATF/CREB transcription factor gene family. Its transcription has previously been shown to be testis-specific and within the testis to be restricted to haploid spermatids. In this study, we characterized the protein's distribution in the testis and found that it accumulates in late round and in elongating spermatids, corresponding to developmental stages considered transcriptionally silent. ATCE1 accumulation is acrosome-specific and persists up to m ...[more]
