Demonstration of acrosin in mouse spermatozoa.
Gelatinolytic activity of whole mouse spermatozoa was demonstrated by the gelatin film test. The presence of a trypsin-like protease (acrosin) in acidic extracts of mouse spermatozoa was shown by an electrophoretic method to separate the enzyme from a putative inhibitor.
