Antigen Unmasking Is Required to Clinically Assess Levels and Localisation Patterns of Phospholipase C Zeta in Human Sperm
Kashir, Junaid; Mistry, Bhavesh V.; BuSaleh, Lujain; Nomikos, Michail; Almuqayyil, Sarah; Abu-Dawud, Raed; AlYacoub, Nadya; Hamdan, Hamdan; AlHassan, Saad; Lai, F. Anthony; Assiri, Abdullah M.; Coskun, Serdar... more authors ... less authors ( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Mammalian oocyte activation is initiated by intracellular calcium (Ca2+) oscillations, driven by the testis-specific phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ).

Editorial: The role of calcium signaling in gametogenesis and early embryogenesis
Kashir, Junaid; Lai, F. Anthony; Nomikos, Michail ( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Other)Calcium homeostasis exerts a profound role in determining the quality of gametogenesis, the resultant efficacy of fertilisation and ultimately the competency of embryogenesis. Perhaps no other single ion plays such a ... -

The role and mechanism of action of sperm PLC-zeta in mammalian fertilisation
Nomikos, Michail; Kashir, Junaid; Lai, F. Anthony ( Portland Press Ltd , 2017 , Article Review)At mammalian fertilisation, the fundamental stimulus that triggers oocyte (egg) activation and initiation of early embryonic development is an acute rise of the intracellular-free calcium (Ca2+) concentration inside the ...
