A reservoir of spermatozoa in the initial oviduct segment has been found in several species of domestic and laboratory mammals. The reservoir serves to ensure successful fertilization by providing the appropriate number spermatozoa in appropriate physiological state for fertilizing oocytes soon after they enter the oviduct. Recent evidence indicates that spermatozoa are trapped in the reservoir by binding to specific carbohydrate moieties on the surface of mucosal epithelium of the oviduct. Identification of the fucose-binding protein on bull spermatozoa that enables them to bind to oviductal epithelium was described. The state of spermatozoa that enables them to release from the reservoir was also discussed.
