“…Although a large number of potential candidate binding partners for sperm-egg interaction have been described, including galactyltransferase, Sp56, zona receptor kinase, spermadhesins, PH20, proacrosin, Sp38, and Sp17, the precise roles of these molecules have not been firmly established (43). Hence, the identification of additional molecules that participate in gamete interactions, particularly those retained after the remodeling events of acrosomal exocytosis, could greatly enhance the understanding of this process.…”

“…PL is a homolog of the egg envelope in other vertebrates, the zona pellucida (ZP) in mammals, the vitelline membrane in amphibians and the chorion in teleosts. The vertebrate's egg envelope serves several functions in the process of fertilization, including species-specific sperm-egg binding, induction of the acrosome reaction, and prevention of polyspermy (McLeskey et al 1998). Although the penetration of the PL by supernumerary spermatozoa is found regularly in birds, the PL behaves in a manner analogous to the ZP in mammalian species (Howarth 1990).…”

“…Cytosolic calcium signaling is involved in the regulation of intracellular pH, which appears to play an important role in secretory processes in response to hormones [9,11]. In addition, an acidic microenvironment is crucial for male fertility since sperm cannot fertilize an egg without proper acidification of the acrosome [12]. Sertoli cells secrete lactate in the presence of glucose [13].…”
