Effects of a Protein Kinase Inhibitor on Sperm Motility in the Japanese Quail

Sperm motility is an essential trait for successful fertilization in animals. In birds, ejaculated sperm migrate into sperm storage tubules before fertilization and are stored in a quiescent state. We previously reported that this type of sperm's flagellar quiescence was induced by lactic acid through flagellar dynein ATPase inactivation following cytoplasmic acidification (
