Sperm are attracted by chemical substances which are released by the egg. This process is called chemotaxis. Several molecules that are involved in chemotactic signaling of sperm from marine invertebrates are described and a model of the signaling pathway is presented. We discuss the motor response during chemotaxis and propose a model of the navigation strategy of sperm.
精子会被卵子释放的化学物质所吸引。这个过程被称为趋化作用。本文描述了几种参与海洋无脊椎动物精子趋化信号传导的分子,并提出了信号通路模型。我们讨论了趋化过程中的运动反应,并提出了精子导航策略的模型。
