## Abstract The acrosome reaction in __Acipenser transmontanus__ sperm can be induced by a 66,000 dalton glycoprotein that is present in Layer 3 (L3) of the egg envelope and in egg water only following exposure of the eggs to fresh water. When egg water is fractionated on Sepharose CL 6B, the 66,00

## Abstract Previous studies have established that the mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) is dependent upon an influx of extracellular Ca^2+^, but the involvement of a mobilizable store of intracellular Ca^2+^ has not been shown. In many other cells, the endoplasmic reticulum is the site of suc
## Abstract Two inhibitors of somatic cell transmethylation, homocysteine thiolactone (Hcy) and 3βdeazadenosine (3βDZA), inhibited the acrosome reactions of hamster sperm in vitro. Hcy (250 ΞΌM) or 3βDZA (200 ΞΌM) inhibited acrosome reactions by approximately 30% after 4 hours of incubation with wash
The glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) hyaluronic acid and heparin were added (10 pg and 100 pglml to golden hamster sperm suspensions previously incubated for 4.5 h under capacitating conditions. After additions, sperm were incubated for 5-15 min and acrosome reactions (AR) assayed in motile sperm by phase
