Histidine Clusters Explain How Heat and pH Activate Sperm Channel CatSper
Original: Histidine Clusters Reveal How Heat and pH Switch On the Sperm Channel CatSper
New research reported by Bioengineer.org shows that histidine clusters in the CatSper sperm channel act as molecular switches responding to heat and pH changes, helping explain how sperm become activated for fertilization. The findings offer insight into a long-standing question in reproductive biology and could inform future studies of male fertility.
