Capacitation as a regulatory event that primes spermatozoa for the acrosome reaction and fertilization

1 Mar 1997

Abstract excerpt

Capacitation is defined as the series of transformations that spermatozoa normally undergo during their migration through the female genital tract, in order to reach and bind to the zona pellucida, undergo the acrosome reaction, and fertilize the egg. During this process, extensive changes occur in all sperm compartments (head and flagellum; membrane, cytosol, cytoskeleton), factors originating from epididymal...
