Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analyses for Spag11a tissue distribution. Total RNA from various tissues, indicated on the x-axis, was utilized to measure the relative expression level of Spag11a. The results revealed that Spag11a was expressed exclusively in the caput epididymis, although a low level of expression was detected in the corpus epididymis, liver and muscle. The expression in the other examined tissues was close to background and was nearly undetectable. The error bars indicate the SEM (n = 3).
