The RNA nuclear export factor NXF3 is specifically expressed in Sertoli cells of the mouse testis. Shown here is a cross‐section through the seminiferous tubule displaying NXF3 protein (green) in contrast to nuclear DNA (blue). Surprisingly, Zhou et al. (this issue) observe that the loss of this export factor does not affect spermatogenesis.
