Fig. 2

V-ATPase subunit 2, but not subunit 1 was present in the pangolin epididymis. a When compared with mouse epididymis exhibited V-ATPase subunits 1and 2, we detected only V-ATPase subunit 2 present in the clear cells of the pangolin epididymis. b E-Cadherin (in green) which is known to maintain the polarity of epithelium is present at the lateral membrane of the pangolin epididymal epithelium; moreover, similar to our earlier observation in mouse, QSOX2 (in red), a protein critical for disulfide bond formation and sperm structure was also detected in the principal cells
