Ganglioside GM1 Mediates Decapacitation Effects of SVS2 on Murine Spermatozoa1
28 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Prior to fertilization, mammalian spermatozoa need to acquire fertilizing ability (capacitation) in the female reproductive tract. On the other hand, capacitated spermatozoa reversibly lose their capacitated state when treated with seminal plasma (decapacitation). Previously, we demonstrated that a mouse seminal plasma protein, SVS2, is a decapacitation factor and regulates sperm fertilizing ability in vivo....
