The Acrosomal Matrix.

Advances in anatomy, embryology, and cell biology - 1 Jan 2016

Foster James A, Gerton George L

Abstract excerpt

The acrosome, a single exocytotic vesicle on the head of sperm, has an essential role in fertilization, but the exact mechanisms by which it facilitates sperm-egg interactions remain unresolved. The acrosome contains dozens of secretory proteins that are packaged into the forming structure during spermatogenesis; many of these proteins are localized into specific topographical areas of the acrosome, while others...
