Gene context of Sperm Capacitation

  • Reactive oxygen species (ROS), protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), and the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK or mitogen-activated protein kinase [MAPK]) pathway regulate sperm capacitation [21].
  • The role of this activity in the occurrence of sperm capacitation was also investigated by using PD098059, an inhibitor of the MAPK cascade [22].
  • Reactive oxygen species and protein kinases modulate the level of phospho-MEK-like proteins during human sperm capacitation [21].
  • Recent studies have shown that OGP plays an important role in pre-fertilization reproductive events (i.e. sperm capacitation, sperm-zona binding and zona penetration) [23].
  • Here, we have investigated the topographical distribution and fate of bovine spermadhesin aSFP during sperm capacitation in order to assess whether aSFP could be involved in similar aspects of the fertilization process as its boar homologous proteins [24].
