reproductive system
• fewer pups born to mutant male mice
|
• impaired sperm-egg interaction
• normal rates of fertilization rates were observed when spermatozoa were added to zona pellucida-free eggs
• premature exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer membrane leaflet of spermatozoa
• normal sperm morphology and motility
|
• reduced zona pellucida induced acrosome reactions
