Role of protein kinase C in the acrosome reaction of mammalian spermatozoa

15 Jan 1992

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian spermatozoa undergo a Ca(2+)-dependent exocytotic event before fertilization which is known as the acrosome reaction. The process of exocytosis in several cell systems is mediated by a protein kinase C (PKC)-catalysed phosphorylation. Addition of phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate or the membrane-permeant diacylglycerol analogue 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, which are potent activators of PKC, to bovine...
