The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout
Intracellular alkalinization is essential for the initiation of motility, capacitation, hyperactivation, and the acrosome reaction. Hv1 mediates the voltage-dependent proton permeability of excitable membranes. Hv1 is abundantly expressed in human sperm cells within the principal piece of the sperm flagellum, making it ideally positioned to activate pH-dependent proteins of the axoneme and thus to control sperm motility.
