The acrosome reaction (AR) is a regulated exocytotic process. In several cell types, an actin network situated under the plasma membrane (PM) acts as a physical barrier to prevent this exocytosis. In seeking a function for a cortical skeleton in guinea pig spermatozoa, the PM and the outer acrosomal
## Abstract Ionophore A23187, in the presence of extraceullular Ca^+2^, induces a morphologically normal acrosome reaction in sperm of the sea urchin and precocious acrosome reaction and activation of guinea pig sperm. Increased membrane permeability to Ca^+2^ is responsible for initiating the acro
