A novel cross‐species inhibitor to study the function of CatSper Ca2+ channels in sperm
3 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background and Purpose Sperm from many species share the sperm‐specific Ca2+ channel CatSper that controls the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and, thereby, the swimming behaviour. A growing body of evidence suggests that the mechanisms controlling the activity of CatSper and its role during fertilization differ among species. A lack of suitable pharmacological tools has hampered the elucidation of the function...
