Nematode sperm maturation triggered by protease involves sperm-secreted serine protease inhibitor (Serpin)
17 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Spermiogenesis is a series of poorly understood morphological, physiological and biochemical processes that occur during the transition of immotile spermatids into motile, fertilization-competent spermatozoa. Here, we identified a Serpin (serine protease inhibitor) family protein (As_SRP-1) that is secreted from spermatids during nematode Ascaris suum spermiogenesis (also called sperm activation) and we showed...
