In mammals, hyperactivation is essential for sperm fertilization with oocytes in vivo. Two types of hyperactivation "full-type and nonfull-type patterns" can be observed in the spermatozoa from boars, bulls, and mice. We have a hypothesis that the full-type hyperactivation is a physiological (in vivo) pattern and are elucidating its molecular bases. The aims of this study were to detect calmodulin in boar sperm flagella by Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence and to investigate effects of extracellular Ca |
