Surface N-acetylglucosamine dynamics in bovine spermatozoa: from epididymal transit to oviductal epithelial cell binding

The sperm surface glycocalyx undergoes extensive remodeling during epididymal maturation, required for sperm to reach and bind the oviductal epithelium. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)-containing glycans are candidate mediators of these events, however, how these residues are regulated across the reproductive tract, and whether their changes depend on specific epididymal enzymes or functionally…
