Schematic representation of wild-type and mdx3cv spermatozoa showing the localization of Dp71~DAPC or Up71~DAPC. Dp71 or Up71 complex and SAPs (ion channels and nNOS) are based on indirect immunofluorescence localization and western blotting detection in whole spermatozoa, demembranated spermatozoa and plasma membrane data. a-Syn, a-syntrophin; AR, acrosome region; β-Dg, β-dystroglycan; Dp71, short dystrophin non-spliced for exon 78; K+Chn, K+ channel (Kv1.1); MDP, middle piece; Na+Chn, Na+ channel (μ1); nNOS, neural nitric oxide synthase; PAR, postacrosomal region; PCP, principal piece; PM, plasma membrane; Up71, short utrophin.
