Molecular basis of human sperm capacitation
In the early 1950s, Austin and Chang independently described the changes that are
required for the sperm to fertilize oocytes in vivo. These changes were originally grouped …

Calcium channels in the development, maturation, and function of spermatozoa
A proper dialogue between spermatozoa and the egg is essential for conception of a new
individual in sexually reproducing animals. Ca2+ is crucial in orchestrating this unique event …

Control of hyperactivation in sperm
SS Suarez - Human reproduction update, 2008 - academic.oup.com
BACKGROUND Sperm hyperactivation is critical to fertilization, because it is required for
penetration of the zona pellucida. Hyperactivation may also facilitate release of sperm from …

Moving to the beat: a review of mammalian sperm motility regulation
RM Turner - Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2005 - CSIRO Publishing
Because it is generally accepted that a high percentage of poorly motile or immotile sperm
will adversely affect male fertility, analysis of sperm motility is a central part of the evaluation …

Biphasic role of calcium in mouse sperm capacitation signaling pathways
FA Navarrete, FA García‐Vázquez… - Journal of cellular …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Mammalian sperm acquire fertilizing ability in the female tract in a process known as
capacitation. At the molecular level, capacitation is associated with up‐regulation of a cAMP …

Signal transduction pathways that regulate sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction
A Abou-haila, DRP Tulsiani - Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 2009 - Elsevier
Ejaculated spermatozoa must undergo physiological priming as they traverse the female
reproductive tract before they can bind to the egg's extracellular coat, the zona pellucida …
