Question

The enzyme which enhances sperm motility is _____​

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer is dehydrogenase- S

Answer 2

The enzyme which enhances sperm motility is Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase-s.

• The GPDS is a sperm-specific enzyme that helps in increasing sperm motility.
• This enzyme is found in the flagellum or tail of the sperm which moves back n forth that helps in the propulsion of sperm forward.
• It is a type of isoenzyme that is firmly bounded with a fibrous structure called as cytoskeleton structure of the flagellum
• It falls under the category of glycolytic enzymes.
• GPDS-negative males are infertile and were found to have profound defects in sperm movement, exhibiting slow movement with no progression.
• Sperm motility plays a vital role in normal fertilization.
• One of the common causes of infertility is low sperm motility in males.
• with the help of GPDS and 5 other isoenzyme, glycolysis results in the production of ATP that generates energy for motility of sperms
• Experiments are being done that may provide a breakthrough that can help in blocking the GPDS as a method of a non-hormonal method of contraception in males.
