In this study we investigate the role of the CHRNA7 subunit (also known as the alpha7 subunit) of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in mouse sperm function. We confirm by reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction the expression in adult mous

We demonstrated previously the involvement of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor containing an alpha7 subunit in the human sperm acrosome reaction (a modified exocytotic event essential to fertilization). Here we report the presence in human sperm of

Two sperm neurotransmitter receptor/channels, the glycine receptor (GlyR) and a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor containing an alpha7 subunit (alpha7nAChR) were previously shown to be important to the mouse acrosome reaction (AR) initiated by solubil

The mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) is essential to fertilization and is believed to be initiated in vivo by ZP3, a glycoprotein component of the egg zona pellucida (ZP). Recently, we reported the results of antagonist studies suggesting that

Previously, we have demonstrated an essential role for the neuronal glycine receptor (GlyR) in the acrosome reaction (AR) of mouse and porcine sperm initiated by the egg zona pellucida (ZP). In the present study, we have demonstrated presence of the

The signal transduction pathways involved in the progesterone (P(4))-initiated mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) are not fully understood. To investigate the role of the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway in the P(4)-initiated AR, we probed this pat

Recent reports have provided evidence for the presence of amino acid neurotransmitter receptor/chloride channels in human and porcine spermatozoa and their involvement in the acrosome reaction (AR). In this work we investigated whether a glycine rece

Antisera against a porcine liver endomembrane progesterone (P4)-binding protein inhibited the P4-initiated acrosome reaction (AR) but not the ionomycin-initiated AR of human sperm. Indirect immunofluorescence studies detected antigen in the sperm hea

We previously demonstrated that the progesterone- (P) initiated human sperm acrosome reaction (AR) was dependent on the presence of extracellular Na+ (Na+o). Moreover, Na+o depletion resulted in a decreased cytosolic pH (pHi), suggesting involvement

The mechanisms of the progesterone (P4)-activated Ca21 influx and the relationship between the intracellular free Ca21 concentration ([Ca21]i) and the acrosome reaction (AR) were investigated in this study. We compared the [Ca21]i of uncapacitated an
