What is the distribution of actin (micro) filaments in sperm? Loss of function would lead to?
Solution
Answer= Destribution of Actin filaments (Microfilaments ) in sperm
Actinfilaments are important structural filaments of the head of the sperm
The rapid relaxing of coiledactin filaments during the acrosome reaction allows the sperm head to penetrate further into the egg
In spermatogenic cells the actin filaments have been describe primararily in the subacrosomal space between the nucleus & the developing acrosome of the spermatids of certain mammalian species
In human sperm actin is present in= acrosomal space, equatorial & post acrosomal regions & tail
Loss of function would lead to = Actin polymerization is important for the sperm incorporation into the egg cell cytoplasm
Actin polymerization occurs during capacitation of sperm
if the function of actin is lost then there is no penetration of sperm into egg & fertilization does not takes place
