Abstract:
Both fertilization promoting peptide and adenosine stimulate capacitation but inhibit spontaneous acrosome loss by modulation of the adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cAMP signal transduction pathway. This is a review aimed at analyzing the function of fertilization promoting peptide during this process. The possible molecular basis is also discussed.
