Mutation Description |
"Together, most of these metabolic steps are controlled by sperm-restricted gene orthologs, including (...) glycerol kinase 2 (Gk2), which catalyzes the production of glycerol-3-phosphate from glycerol, which can be enzymatically converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (Figure 2);23 (...) We examined each gene ortholog sequence in various mammal species and found ORF-disrupting mutations or exon-loss events in most cetacean species (Figure 2 ; figshare link in Key resources table)." |
