The epididymis and sperm maturation: a perspective

1 Aug 1993

Abstract excerpt

In common mammals, sperm leaving the testis are incapable of fertilizing a female gamete. Sperm have limited biosynthetic capability and need to minimize demand for ATP. Hence, modification of sperm to achieve their maturation requires pre-programmed cleavage of integral molecules (planned self-modification) and remodelling by action of molecules found in the suspending fluids. Most of these biocatalysts are...
