Molecular and functional characterization of voltage-gated sodium channels in human sperm

16 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We have investigated the expression of voltage-gated sodium channels in human spermatozoa and characterized their role in sperm motility. METHODS: Freshly ejaculated semen was collected from thirty normozoospermic human donors, with each donor supplying 2 different samples. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence techniques were used to detect the mRNAs and...
