“…However, MRSs do not stimulate chemotaxis in all cases. Testosterone decreases chemotaxis [317], opiates [153,226], cholecystokinin and neuropeptide Y [89,293] exert different effects on different cells. Not every cell displays chemotaxis to a given substance, just as not every neuron displays the same response to a given MRS.…”

“…MRSs affecting both motivation and chemotaxis are bombesin [406], cholecystokinin [293], insulin [194], gastrin-releasing peptide [90], somatostatin [262], neuropeptide Y [129], substance P [317], bradykinin [12], steroid sex hormone estrogen [81], prolactin [224], and angiotensin II [291]. GABA and taurine, inhibitory amino acids, act as chemoattractants for neurons [20].…”

Contrary to the prevalent view, there seems to be no competition in the mammalian female genital tract among large numbers of sperm cells that are racing towards the egg. Instead, small numbers of the ejaculated sperm cells enter the Fallopian tube, and these few must be guided to make the remaining long, obstructed way to the egg. Here, we review the mechanisms by which mammalian sperm cells are guided to the egg.

Sperm chemotaxis, which guide sperm toward oocyte, is tightly associated with sperm capacitation, motility, and fertility. However, the molecular mechanism of sperm chemotaxis is not known. Reproductive odorant and taste receptors, belong to G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) super-family, cause an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration which is pre-requisite for sperm capacitation and acrosomal reaction, and result in sperm hyperpolarization and increase motility through activation of Ca2+-dependent Cl¯ channels. Recently, odorant receptors (ORs) in olfactory transduction pathway were thought to be associated with post-thaw sperm motility, freeze tolerance or freezability and cryo-capacitation-like change during cryopreservation. Investigation of the roles of odorant and taste receptors (TRs) is important for our understanding of the freeze tolerance or freezability mechanism and improve the motility and fertility of post-thaw sperm. Here, we reviewed the roles, mode of action, impact of odorant and taste receptors on sperm chemotaxis and post-thaw sperm quality.
