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

## Abstract Recently, the endocannabinoid (EC) system and the presence of CB1 receptor (CB1‐R), have been identified in human sperm. However, the effects of EC receptor ligands such as anandamide (N‐arachidonoylethanolamine) and the role of EC system in male fertility is still largely unexplored. I
## Abstract Protein disulfide isomerase ERp57 is localized predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum, but is also present in the cytosol and, according to preliminary evidence, in the nucleus of avian cells. Conclusive evidence of its nuclear localization and of its interaction with DNA in vivo in
The higher order of chromatin organization is thought to be determined by the nuclear matrix, a mainly proteinaceous structure that would act as a nucleoskeleton. The matrix is obtained from isolated nuclei by a series of extraction steps involving the use of high salt and nonspecific nucleases, whi
## Abstract Studies of the sea urchin larval skeleton have contributed greatly to our understanding of the process of biomineralization. In this study we have undertaken an investigation of the morphology of skeleton formation and the localization of proteins involved in the process of spicule form
## Abstract Dystrophin and dystrophin‐associated proteins (DAPs) form a complex around the sarcolemma, which gives stability to the sarcolemma and leads signal transduction. Recently, the nuclear presence of dystrophin Dp71 and DAPs has been revealed in different non‐muscle cell types, opening the
