G<sub>M1</sub> Dynamics as a Marker for Membrane Changes Associated With the Process of Capacitation in Murine and Bovine Spermatozoa
22 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that in live murine and bovine sperm heads, the ganglioside G(M1) localizes to the sterol-rich plasma membrane overlying the acrosome (APM). Labeling G(M1) using the pentameric cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) induced a dramatic redistribution of signal from the APM to the sterol-poor postacrosomal plasma membrane (PAPM) upon sperm death. We now show a similar phenomenon in the flagellum where...
