Four zona pellucida glycoproteins are expressed in the human.
- L. Lefièvre, S. Conner, +9 authors C. Barratt
- Biology, Medicine
- Human reproduction
- 1 July 2004
BACKGROUND
The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular glycoprotein matrix which surrounds all mammalian oocytes. Recent data have shown the presence of four human zona genes (ZP1, ZP2, ZP3 and ZPB).… Expand
Stimulation of Human Spermatozoa with Progesterone Gradients to Simulate Approach to the Oocyte

Progesterone is present at micromolar concentrations in the cumulus matrix, which surrounds mammalian oocytes. Exposure of human spermatozoa to a concentration gradient of progesterone (0–3 μm) to… Expand
A survey of assisted reproductive technology births and imprinting disorders.
- S. Bowdin, C. Allen, +7 authors W. Reardon
- Medicine
- Human reproduction
- 1 December 2006
BACKGROUND
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process in which allele-specific gene expression is dependent on the parental inheritance. Although only a minority of human genes are imprinted, those… Expand
Sperm proteome mapping of a patient who experienced failed fertilization at IVF reveals altered expression of at least 20 proteins compared with fertile donors: case report.
- K. L. Pixton, E. Deeks, +5 authors I. Brewis

The aim of this study was to compare the sperm protein expression profile (proteome map) from a patient who experienced failed fertilization at IVF with fertile controls. One patient and three… Expand
Ca2+ Signals Generated by CatSper and Ca2+ Stores Regulate Different Behaviors in Human Sperm*
- Wardah Alasmari, S. Costello, +8 authors C. Barratt
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 23 January 2013
Background: Ca2+ signals, elicited by cues from the oocyte and female tract, regulate human sperm behavior. Results: CatSper channel activation (flagellum) and Ca2+ store mobilization (neck) caused… Expand
Ca2+-stores in sperm: their identities and functions.

[Ca2+]i signalling in sperm — making the most of what you've got
- S. Publicover, C. Harper, C. Barratt
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Cell Biology
- 1 March 2007
Thanks to a worrying decrease in male fertility, understanding how sperm 'work' is a matter both of interest and great importance. Sperm of all animals detect various environmental cues. The… Expand
