Sperm receptors and bacterial receptors

Both endotoxins were detected in human semen LPS; 1. Identification of the bacterial strain and assays of drug sensitivity were carried out using Vitek Sismex Biomerieux, Tokyo, Japan. Hum Reprod. All rights reserved. However, this may be one but not the only mechanism by which sperm mobility is altered in bacteria-infected ejaculates Diemer et al. The salt treated sample was centrifuged at g for 15 min. Data are presented as the percent of oocytes fertilized.

Amiloride-sensitive cation channel 1 2 3 4. Some diseases are caused by disorders of membrane receptor function. Metabotropic glutamate receptor. This opens the ion channel, allowing extracellular ions into the cell. By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. In the simplest receptors, polypeptide chains cross the lipid bilayer once, while others, such as the G-protein coupled receptors , cross as many as seven times.

Taste , bitter TAS2R 1 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 13 14 16 19 20 30 31 38 39 40 41 42 43 45 46 50 60 Vomeronasal receptor type 1. This is due to deficiency or degradation of the receptor via changes in the genes that encode and regulate the receptor protein. Ion channel , cell surface receptor : ligand-gated ion channels. It is proposed that the conformational changes induced by receptor binding result in the attachment of myristic acid on VP4 and the formation of a channel for RNA.
