RESUMEN
Human ejaculated spermatozoa are heterogeneous and can be separated into two distinct populations according to their respective buoyant densities. In order to investigate the functional differences between these two types of spermatozoa, we have searched for the presence of galactosyltransferase. A Western blot of sperm proteins following their electrophoresis was probed with an anti-galactosyltransferase serum revealing that this enzyme is present in human spermatozoa. Furthermore, galactosyltransferase is detectable only in those proteins isolated from the head of high density spermatozoa. These results suggest that ejaculated spermatozoa consist of two populations that are functionally different.
