Behavioral mechanism during human sperm chemotaxis: involvement of hyperactivation.
When mammalian spermatozoa become capacitated they acquire, among other activities, chemotactic responsiveness and the ability to exhibit occasional events of hyperactivated motility--a vigorous motility type with large amplitudes of head displacement. Although a number of roles have been proposed f...
