Using Penaeus monodon as the model, we demonstrated the molecular changes and the mechanism of thelycal-dependent sperm modification resulting in an enhanced acrosome reaction (AR) response. Attention was paid to the modification of the sperm plasma membrane which was mediated through an adsorption...
