Progesterone stimulates p42 extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p42erk) in human spermatozoa

1 Mar 1998

Abstract excerpt

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) are cytoplasmic and nuclear serine/threonine kinases involved in signal transduction of several extracellular effectors. Recently, we have demonstrated that ERKs are present in spermatozoa and are involved in the regulation of the process of capacitation. We report here the effect of progesterone, a well-known...
