The “switching on” of mammalian spermatozoa: Molecular events involved in promotion and regulation of capacitation

Abstract excerpt

Following the discovery of mammalian sperm capacitation and its fundamental importance for the acquisition of fertilizing potential, it has gradually become possible to identify some specific molecules and molecular events that play pivotal roles in the "switching on" of spermatozoa. These are discussed in the context of the promotion and regulation of capacitation, emphasizing differences between commonly used...
