Why did the Sperm Cross the Cumulus? To Get to the Oocyte. Functions of the Sperm Surface Proteins PH-20 and Fertilin in Arriving at, and Fusing With, the Egg1

1 Feb 1997

Abstract excerpt

The sperm surface has an active role in the events of fertilization. The definition of the sperm surface in both its composition and domain organization begins during spermatogenesis and continues until the moment of sperm-egg fusion. Alterations of the surface proceed as a result of internal programming and environmental cues from both the male and female reproductive tracts, including interactions with the egg...
