Transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels in human sperm: expression, cellular localization and involvement in the regulation of flagellar motility
29 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Capacitative Ca(2+) entry is a process whereby the activation of Ca(2+) influx through the plasma membrane is triggered by depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Some transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins have been proposed as candidates for capacitative Ca(2+) channels. Recent evidence indicates that capacitative Ca(2+) entry participates in the sperm acrosome reaction (AR), an exocytotic process...
