Fertilization is defined as the union of two gametes. During fertilization, sperm and egg fuse
to form a diploid zygote to initiate prenatal development. In mammals, fertilization involves …

The serine protease inhibitor Kazal type (SPINK) family includes SPINK1-14 and is the
largest branch in the serine protease inhibitor family. SPINKs play an important role in …

The reproductive performance of chicken breeders has significant economic importance in
the poultry industry, and sperm motility is an indicator of reproductive performance. This …

To penetrate the zona pellucida before sperm-egg binding, sperm must undergo highly time-
controlled capacitation and acrosome reaction in the female reproductive tract. Our previous …

In brief Capacitation is regulated by decapacitation factors secreted by male ducts and
accessory sex glands. This revision is focused on targets and events regulated by …

Simple Summary Sch B is the active component extracted from Sch B Fructus. It shows
reproductive protection and spermatogenesis effects in animals. As far as we know, no …

Serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 3 (SPINK3) from mouse seminal vesicles is a Kazal-
type trypsin inhibitor. It has been shown to bind to the sperm acrosome and modify sperm …

In the study, a new gene homologous to the known antimicrobial peptide Scygonadin was
identified in mud crab Scylla paramamosain and named SCY3. The full-length sequences of …

Sperm capacitation in mammals is a fundamental requirement to acquire their fertilizing
capacity. Little is known about the action mechanism of the molecules that prevent …

The aim of the present study was to determine the proteins in canine seminal plasma with
direct effect on specific sperm parameters during fertilisation. The influence of seminal …
