Proteomic characterization of human sperm plasma membrane ‐associated proteins and their role in capacitation

ConclusionsOur results indicate that SMAP inhibit the progress of human sperm capacitation, but only motility changes related to capacitation may be reversed by these proteins. The study of the identified proteins on sperm function and their mechanisms of action on this cell may contribute to the understanding of their role during capacitation.
