Annexin V Binding and Merocyanine Staining Fail to Detect Human Sperm Capacitation

Abstract excerpt

The signaling pathways that characterize the process of capacitation of human spermatozoa are still largely unknown. Modifications in the lipid architecture of the sperm plasma membrane have been described in spermatozoa from different species, including translocation of phosphatidylserine (PS) from the inner to the outer leaflet and increased phospholipid disorder in the membrane. In human spermatozoa, however,...
