Abstract excerpt
Regulated secretion is a fundamental process underlying the function of many cell types. In particular, acrosomal exocytosis in mammalian sperm is essential for egg fertilization. In general, exocytosis is initiated by a cytosolic calcium increase. In this report we show that calcium affects several factors during human sperm acrosomal exocytosis. By using an antibody that specifically recognizes synaptotagmin VI...
