Hyperpolarization induces cytosolic alkalization of mouse sperm flagellum probably through sperm Na+/H+ exchanger
19 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
In brief: Hyperpolarization of the membrane potential is a crucial step for mammalian sperm maturation. This work demonstrates that this membrane potential change likely activates a sperm-specific sodium/proton exchanger to induce alkalization in mouse sperm flagellum. Abstract: The sperm-specific sodium/proton exchanger (sNHE) is an indispensable protein for male fertility in mammals. Nevertheless, it is still...
