Ion permeabilities in mouse sperm reveal an external trigger for SLO3-dependent hyperpolarization.

Unlike most cells of the body which function in an ionic environment controlled within narrow limits, spermatozoa must function in a less controlled external environment. In order to better understand how sperm control their membrane potential in different ionic conditions, we measured mouse sperm m...
