## Abstract Maitotoxin (MTX), a potent marine toxin, activates Ca^2+^ entry via nonselective cation channels in a wide variety of cells. The identity of the channels involved in MTX action remains unknown. In mammalian sperm, Ca^2+^ entry through store‐operated channels regulates a number of physio
Calcium plays a predominant role regulating many functional processes of spermatogenesis and fertilization. The purpose of the present study is to define the exact location of calcium as well as examine the role it plays during spermatogenesis and sperm capacitation. Testes and epididymides were obt
