Global profiling of the proteomic changes associated with the post-testicular maturation of mouse spermatozoa

During the differentiation phase at the spermiogenesis (the last phase of the spermatogenesis), haploid round spermatids undergo an extreme morphological remodelling of nuclear and cytoplasmic structures.
