Parallel erosion of a testis-specific Na+/K+ ATPase in three mammalian lineages sheds light into the evolution of spermatozoa energetics

Raúl Valente, André M. Machado, Eva Pericuesta…·L. Filipe C. Castro

The paper investigates the evolution of sperm energetics in mammals by analyzing gene duplication and loss of Atp1a4, revealing its role in sodium-dependent glucose uptake and subsequent pseudogenization in three lineages.
