Focal adhesion kinase is required for actin polymerization and remodeling of the cytoskeleton during sperm capacitation

Several focal adhesion proteins are known to cooperate with integrins to link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton; as a result, many intracellular signaling pathways are activated and several focal adhesion complexes are formed. However, how these proteins function in mammalian sperma...
