BACKGROUND Knowledge of the proteomic composition of the gametes is essential to
understand reproductive functions. Most of the sperm proteins are related to …

Mammalian sperm, the only cells that achieve their purpose outside their organism of origin,
have to swim vigorously within the female reproductive tract to reach an oocyte. Flagellar …

Reduced sperm motility, defined as asthenozoospermia, is a frequent cause of male
infertility, and is mainly connected with the dysfunction of sperm mitochondria. The aim of …

Human sperm proteomics research has gained increasing attention lately, which provides
