Essential Role of CFTR in PKA‐Dependent Phosphorylation, Alkalinization, and Hyperpolarization During Human Sperm Capacitation
13 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian sperm require to spend a limited period of time in the female reproductive tract to become competent to fertilize in a process called capacitation. It is well established that HCO3− is essential for capacitation because it activates the atypical soluble adenylate cyclase ADCY10 leading to cAMP production, and promotes alkalinization of cytoplasm, and membrane hyperpolarization. However, how HCO3− is...
