Until now, mutations of the LH hormone receptor were the only explanation known for sexual precocity in boys. A team at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC, CNRS / Inserm / Universit Louis Pasteur de Strasbourg)), in collaboration with scientists at the University of Dallas and the University of Louvain, has just identified a key regulator of male fertility, the SHP protein, bringing to light the major role it plays in controlling the synthesis of testosterone and in differentiation of germ cells in mouse testes. This work, reported in the journal Genes and Development, suggests that it is worth exploring the signalling pathways controlled by SHP in men suffering from fertility disorders……..
