Male infertility is the major cause of conception failure in about 25% of all infertile couples. Understanding the causes of male infertility depends to a certain extent on the proteins present on the spermatozoa. The study aim was to investigate first, whether there is any difference in the expression of sperm membrane proteins between fertile and infertile males; and second, whether there is any functional significance of these proteins in the spermatozoa.
