Receptors in Spermatozoa: Are They Real?

Abstract excerpt

Sperm develop in the seminiferous tubules of testes following a complex developmental process called spermatogenesis. A series of morphologic remodeling occurs during spermiogenesis before the sperm are released into the lumen of the tubules by spermiation (Eddy and O'Brien, 1994). Mammalian testicular spermatozoa are relatively nonmotile and incapable of fertilizing an ovum. In most species, sperm attain...
