Examples of acrosome
acrosome
The Golgi apparatus surrounds the now condensed nucleus, becoming the acrosome.

In mammals, binding of the spermatozoon to the GalT initiates the acrosome reaction.

This will enable researchers to further define the importance of Hrb in acrosome formation.

Fraser first reported that genistein triggers the acrosome reaction in mouse sperm in 2003.

But Yanagimachi hopes that by removing the acrosome the success rate will increase in humans.

The second process in sperm activation is the acrosome reaction.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Group X phospholipase A2 is released during sperm acrosome reaction and controls fertility outcome in mice.

In other studies on mouse sperm, she has found two other chemicals can also trigger the acrosome reaction.
From the newscientist.com
They concluded that this lack of Hrb protein prevents the acrosome from forming, making egg penetration impossible.

- A process at the anterior end of a sperm cell that produces enzymes to facilitate penetration of the egg
- The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cell) of many animals. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Acrosome formation is completed during testicular maturation. ...
- A small 'cap' overlaying the sperm head.
- The enzymes in a sperm's head that allows it to make a hole in the coating around an egg, penetrate and fertilize the egg.
- [acrosoma] an organelle at the front of the sperm containing a packet of material which contains enzymes necessary for dissolving a passage through the egg jelly or zona pellucida.
- An apical organelle in the head of a spermatozoon, q.v.
- Cap-like structure that surround the sperm head and contains enzymes that help penetration of the egg.
- The protein envelope that covers the head of the sperm. This cover must be shed as a prerequisite for fertilization to occur
