Molecular characterization of axonemal proteins and signaling molecules responsible for chemoattractant-induced sperm activation in Ciona intestinalis
{{output}}
Spermatozoa undergo dramatic physiological changes at fertilization. In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, an egg-derived substance named SAAF induces both sperm activation and chemotaxis to the egg. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying these phenomen... ...
