Expression and differential cell distribution of low‐threshold Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels in mammalian male germ cells and sperm
17 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Numerous sperm functions including the acrosome reaction (AR) are associated with Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated Ca(2+) (Ca(V)) channels. Although the electrophysiological characterization of Ca(2+) currents in mature sperm has proven difficult, functional studies have revealed the presence of low-threshold (Ca(V)3) channels in spermatogenic cells. However, the molecular identity of these proteins remains...
