  • Title: Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) as regulators of spermatogenesis and spermatozoa functions.
    Author: Almog T, Naor Z.
    Journal: Mol Cell Endocrinol; 2008 Jan 30; 282(1-2):39-44. PubMed ID: 18177996.
    Abstract:
    Spermatogenesis, culminating in the generation of mature motile spermatozoa, is a complex biological process that is regulated by cytokines and hormones of the male reproductive system. Spermatozoa must first undergo a series of biochemical processes termed capacitation, which is followed by acrosome reaction and egg fertilization. Here we review the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) cascades in spermatogenesis and spermatozoa functions.
