Calcium Influx and Male Fertility in the Context of the Sperm Proteome: An Update
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Freshly ejaculated spermatozoa are incapable or poorly capable of fertilizing an oocyte. The fertilization aptness of spermatozoa depends on the appropriate and time-dependent acquisition of hyperactivation, chemotaxis, capacitation, and the acrosome reaction, where calcium (Ca(2+)) is extensively involved in almost every step. A literature review showed that several ion channel proteins are likely responsible...
