N-Formyl-L-aspartate mediates chemotaxis in sperm via the beta-2-adrenergic receptor
Chemotaxis is a highly conserved physiological event required for directed sperm movement during fertilization. Recently, studies from our laboratory have identified N-formyl-L-aspartate (NFA) as a sperm chemoattractant. NFA is a known agonist for the beta-2-adrenergic receptor (β-2-AR) that regulat...
