Actiflagelin, a new sperm activator isolated from Walterinnesia aegyptia venom using phenotypic screening

Abstract Background Sperm contains a wealth of cell surface receptors and ion channels that are required for most of its basic functions such as motility and acrosome reaction. Conversely, animal venoms are enriched in bioactive compounds that primarily target those ion channels and cell surface re...
