Expression
ENTHD1 proteins are
expressed in 26 human organs, with the highest expression in the
testes
A testicle or testis (plural testes) is the male reproductive gland or gonad in all bilaterians, including humans. It is homologous to the female ovary. The functions of the testes are to produce both sperm and androgens, primarily testoster ...
