Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium Channels in the Development, Maturation, and Function of Spermatozoa
TL;DR: This review critically examines the involvement of Ca(2+) channels in multiple signaling processes needed for spermatozoa to mature, travel towards the egg, and fertilize it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm channel diversity and functional multiplicity
Alberto Darszon,Juan José Acevedo,Blanca E. Galindo,Enrique O. Hernández-González,Takuya Nishigaki,Claudia L. Treviño,Christopher D. Wood,Carmen Beltrán +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that different ion channels distinctly localized in these tiny, amazing cells perform specific decoding functions that shape the sophisticated behavior of sperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion Transport in Sperm Signaling
TL;DR: Combining in vivo measurements of membrane potential, intracellular ions, and second messengers with new molecular approaches and reconstitution strategies are revealing how sperm ion channels participate in motility, sperm maturation, and the acrosome reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of mouse trp homologs and lipid rafts from spermatogenic cells and sperm
Claudia L. Treviño,Carmen J. Serrano,Carmen J. Serrano,Carmen Beltrán,Ricardo Felix,Alberto Darszon +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the expression of seven Drosophila transient receptor potential homolog genes and three of their protein products in mouse sperm and one of these proteins (Trp1) co‐immunolocalized with caveolin‐1, a major component of caveolae, a subset of lipid rafts potentially important for signaling events and Ca2+ flux.
Book ChapterDOI
Calcium Channels and Ca2+ Fluctuations in Sperm Physiology
Alberto Darszon,Takuya Nishigaki,Christopher D. Wood,Claudia L. Treviño,Ricardo Felix,Carmen Beltrán +5 more
TL;DR: Certain sperm ion channels are turning out to be unique, making them attractive targets for contraception and for the discovery of novel signaling complexes.
