Group X phospholipase A2 is released during sperm acrosome reaction and controls fertility outcome in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mouse group X sPLA2 (mGX) is the major enzyme present in the acrosome of spermatozoa and that it is released in an active form during capacitation through spontaneous AR, highlighting a paracrine role for mGX in which the enzyme primes sperm for efficient fertilization and boosts premature AR of a likely phospholipid-damaged sperm subpopulation to eliminate suboptimal sperm from the pool available for fertilization.
