Expression of growth hormone and its transcription factor, Pit-1, in early bovine development.

abstract：:Regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is required for sperm capacitation and oocyte fertilization. The objective of the present work was to study the role of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) on protein tyrosine phosphorylation in boar spermatozoa under capacitating conditions. To do this, boar spermatozoa ...
