Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel gene from the insulin family, Insl6, which expresses a protein restoring motility in ciliated cells. The proteins of the insulin family play essential roles in pleiotropic physiological processes affecting metabolism, growth, and reproduction. A new member of the insulin family named Insl6 is disclosed playing an essential role in ciliated cell activity. Insl6 plays an essential role in spermatocyte function. Thus, the Insl6 gene and its protein product are useful in the treatment of infertility caused by the loss of spermatocyte motility. A method of modulating male fertility is disclosed.
