Intracellular, loosely bound Ca++ has been localized electron microscopically in freshly ejaculated boar spermatozoa by in situ precipitation with potassium antimonate. Ca++ was identified as the cation precipitated by testing the EGTA-sensitivity of the precipitates and by X-ray microprobe analysis. The data obtained revealed that the outer acrosomal membrane is the preferential site for Ca++ precipitation in the sperm head.

Abstract
Intracellular, loosely bound Ca++ has been localized electron microscopically in freshly ejaculated boar spermatozoa by in situ precipitation with potassium antimonate. Ca++ was identified as the cation precipitated by testing the EGTA-sensitivity of the precipitates and by X-ray microprobe analysis. The data obtained revealed that the outer acrosomal membrane is the preferential site for Ca++ precipitation in the sperm head.Pubblicazioni consigliate
