• Effect of plasmin on movement characteristics of ejaculated bull spermatozoa 

      Taitzoglou, I. A.; Chapman, D. A.; Zervos, I. A.; Killian, G. J. (2004)
      Proteolytic enzymes appear to have an essential role in multiple phases of mammalian fertilization. Several observations suggest that the plasminogen activator/plasmin system might also play a role in mammalian fertilization. ...
    • Induction of the acrosome reaction in bull spermatozoa with plasmin 

      Taitzoglou, I. A.; Chapman, D. A.; Killian, G. J. (2003)
      Proteolytic enzymes appear to have an essential role in multiple phases of mammalian fertilization. Plasmin, the active enzyme of the plasminogen activation system that stimulates fibrinolysis and proteolysis has a less ...
