Epididymal Epithelial Cells (EpEC)

Epididymal epithelial cells are specialized cells found in the epididymis, a coiled tube located on the surface of the testes. These cells play a crucial role in the maturation and storage of spermatozoa and are responsible for creating the optimal environment for sperm to develop and become motile.

Epididymal epithelial cells secrete various proteins, ions, and other substances that help nourish and protect sperm cells as they pass through the epididymis. They also help to regulate the pH and osmolarity of the epididymal fluid, creating a suitable environment for sperm maturation.
