Abstract
In female tract, mammalian sperm develop hyperactivated motility which is a key physiological event for 18 sperm to fertilize eggs. This motility change is triggered by Ca 2+ influx via the sperm-specific Ca 2+ channel, 19 CatSper. Although previous studies in human and mice largely contributed to understanding CatSper and 20 Ca 2+ signaling for sperm hyperactivation, the differences on their activation mechanisms are not well 21 understood yet. There are several studies to examine expression and significance of the CatSper channel in 22 non-human and non-mouse models, such as domestic animals. In this review, I summarize key knowledge 23 for the CatSper channel from previous studies and propose future aspects for CatSper study using sperm
期刊介绍:
Journal of Animal Science and Technology (J. Anim. Sci. Technol. or JAST) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal publishing original research, review articles and notes in all fields of animal science.
Topics covered by the journal include: genetics and breeding, physiology, nutrition of monogastric animals, nutrition of ruminants, animal products (milk, meat, eggs and their by-products) and their processing, grasslands and roughages, livestock environment, animal biotechnology, animal behavior and welfare.
Articles generally report research involving beef cattle, dairy cattle, pigs, companion animals, goats, horses, and sheep. However, studies involving other farm animals, aquatic and wildlife species, and laboratory animal species that address fundamental questions related to livestock and companion animal biology will also be considered for publication.
The Journal of Animal Science and Technology (J. Anim. Technol. or JAST) has been the official journal of The Korean Society of Animal Science and Technology (KSAST) since 2000, formerly known as The Korean Journal of Animal Sciences (launched in 1956).
