A multiplier peroxiporin signal transduction pathway powers piscine spermatozoa
4 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Significance Spermatozoon swimming performance is critical for fertilization success in fishes, yet the cellular mechanisms that regulate this vital trait are poorly understood. Here, we discovered that a water channel protein, acting as an H 2 O 2 channel (peroxiporin) to detoxify the mitochondria, directly regulates the velocity and progressive motility of both freshwater and marine spermatozoa. The...
