Define ionophore and describe how the compound A23187 affects intracellular Ca2+ levels in
sperm and the capacitation process.
Solution
Ionophore are small hydrophobic lipid soluble molecule that disolve in lipid biolayer and
increase their permeability to specific inorganic ions . Ionophores shield the charge of the ions to
be transported, enabling it to penetrate the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. there are two
kind of ionophores.
1. Mobile ion channels It transports the K+ ions down its electrochemical gradient
eg.(Valinomycin )
2. channel formers - In membrane it form channel. the channel permits the passage of water and
univalent cations but not anions eg. (gramisidin).
The molecule metioned in the question is a Protein-Tyrosine Kinase (HCK) which involves in
various signaling events capacitation is also one of them.The capacitation depends on PKA
activation mediated by the Ca2+ and HCO3-dependent soluble adenylyl cyclase. It has been
suggested that Ca2+ is transported into the cell by the sperm-specific Ca2+ channel (CatSper)
and HCO3 by the Na+/HCO3 cotransporter.
