Heat Sensing Receptor TRPV1 Is a Mediator of Thermotaxis in Human Spermatozoa

16 Dec 2016

Abstract excerpt

The molecular bases of sperm thermotaxis, the temperature-oriented cell motility, are currently under investigation. Thermal perception relies on a subclass of the transient receptor potential [TRP] channels, whose member TRPV1 is acknowledged as the heat sensing receptor. Here we investigated the involvement of TRPV1 in human sperm thermotaxis. We obtained semen samples from 16 normozoospermic subjects attending...
