Proteomic and functional analysis of human sperm detergent resistant membranes

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian spermatozoa attain the ability to fertilize an oocyte as they negotiate the female reproductive tract. This acquisition of functional competence is preceded by an intricate cascade of biochemical and functional changes collectively known as "capacitation." Among the universal correlates of the capacitation process is a remarkable remodeling of the lipid and protein architecture of the sperm plasma...
