Short summary
Peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX6) is expressed in the epididymal tissue, epididymal fluid, and epididymal sperm of sheep. As the sperm mature and transit through the epididymis, the intracellular distribution of PRDX6 gradually becomes more extensive. This suggests that PRDX6 has an important role in promoting sperm maturation.
