Proteins involved in motility and sperm-egg interaction evolve more rapidly in mouse spermatozoa.

Proteins involved in motility and sperm-egg interaction evolve more rapidly in mouse spermatozoa.

Proteomic studies of spermatozoa have identified a large catalog of integral sperm proteins. Rapid evolution of these proteins may underlie adaptive changes of sperm traits involved in different events leading to fertilization, although the selective forces underlying such rapid evolution are not we...
