17 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Two decades have passed since the discovery of phospholipase C zeta (PLCZ1) as the sperm oocyte-activating factor. At present, there is a general consensus that PLCZ1 is responsible for triggering the calcium (Ca2+) oscillations necessary to start the oocyte activation process in mammals. One proof is that abnormal, reduced, or absent PLCZ1 in human spermatozoa leads to fertilization failure (FF) after...
