Abstract

The polymerization of globular actin to fibrous actin which occurs when sperm are activated, was not inhibited by cytochalasin-B. The acrosomal filament and its component actin filaments formed in the presence of cytochalasin-B; and once formed, the actin filaments did not depolymerize when exposed to cytochalasin-B.
