DHHC7 Palmitoyltransferase Data on Sperm Motility and Capacitation

Experimental data from a study investigating the role of the palmitoyltransferase DHHC7 in sperm function. The dataset includes results from immunofluorescent staining, sperm motility analysis, and measurements of protein palmitoylation, calcium levels, and reactive oxygen species in mouse and human sperm. It was authored by Haixia Zheng and last updated on June 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the localization of DHHC7 in sperm based on immunofluorescent staining results.
• Investigate the correlation between DHHC7 antibody treatment and impaired sperm motility parameters.
• Study the relationship between protein palmitoylation levels and sperm capacitation events.
• Model the regulatory role of DHHC7 in intracellular calcium elevation and ROS generation.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled laboratory experiments using specific methods like immunofluorescent staining and computer-assisted sperm analysis.
• Includes comparative results from both mouse and human sperm samples.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 16.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The primary file format is DOCX, which may not be optimal for direct computational analysis.
