Does someone with experience in this area know whether the mouse is considered a valid model for the human cell biology and biochemistry of gamete maturation and subsequent fertilization? Courtland 20:57, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)

biological event
"glycosidasic enzymes such as heparin." is nonsense. Glycosidases? Glycans such as heparin? Needs attention from expert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.144.51 (talk) 17:56, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

what is it? what are the changes?--M siterman 19:45, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

This is a very poor definition and needs revising. An explanation of the biochemical events that occur would be useful.

'Final step'
The final step in sperm maturation is sperm activation, not sperm capacitation. Without activation there is no acrosome reaction Snellios (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Heparin is indeed not an enzyme, but rather a proteoglycan. In the body there is little production of heparin, but much more of the relative of heparin, heparan sulfate, which would be the correct term. I guess penultimate means the second last step. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.131.5 (talk) 19:37, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
