  • Title: Proacrosin/acrosin activity during spermiohistogenesis of the bull.
    Author: Mansouri A, Phi-van L, Geithe HP, Engel W.
    Journal: Differentiation; 1983; 24(2):149-52. PubMed ID: 6411513.
    Abstract:
    Acrosin and its zymogen form, proacrosin, were extracted from early and late spermatids, from ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa (caput, corpus, and cauda) of the bull. Activity of proacrosin/acrosin and the time course of proacrosin activation were studied. It turned out that proacrosin/acrosin activity is first demonstrable in haploid spermatids, increases during spermiohistogenesis in the testis, and remains nearly constant in epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa.
