      The Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Na(v)1.8 Is Expressed in Human Sperm 

      Cejudo Román, Antonio; Pinto, Francisco M.; Subirán Ciudad, Nerea ORCID; Ravina, Cristina G.; Fernández Sánchez, Manuel; Pérez Hernández, Natalia; Pérez, Ricardo; Pacheco, Alberto; Irazusta Astiazaran, Jon ORCID; Candenas, Luz (Public Library of Science, 2013-09)
