摘要
精子超活化是受精前精子运动方式发生改变的过程,Ca2+参与这一过程,诱导精子鞭毛发生不对称运动。CatSper是近来发现的一类仅存于精子鞭毛上的阳离子通道,作为Ca2+内流的通道参与精子超活化过程。现就目前CatSper在小鼠上的研究现状,对其蛋白结构、分布、在精子超活化过程中调节Ca2+的作用以及尚待解决的问题作一综述。
Elevation of sperm Ca^2＋ seems to be responsible for an asymmetric form of motility called hyperactivation, which is first seen near the time of fertilization. CatSper family proteins are putative cation channels expressed exclusively in the membranes of the sperm flagellum. Hyperactivation requires CatSper proteins, which presumably serve as the route of entry for Ca^2＋ that operates directly on the flagellar axoneme to increase waveform asymmetry. In this article, the structure of mouse CatSper, the role it plays in sperm hyperactivation and the unsolved problems are described. NatlJAndrol,2007,13（2） ：164-167
