General Information
Term sperm migration through the uterotubal junction ID (Ontology) GO:0160131 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The controlled self-propelled movement of a sperm cell from the uterus through the uterotubal junction (UTJ) into the oviduct, where interaction between the sperm and the UTJ acts as a major selective barrier for sperm, allowing only living, motile, uncapacitated, morphologically normal sperm with intact acrosomes to pass from the uterus into the oviduct.[ PubMed:29353867 PubMed:31131960 PubMed:32712384 PubMed:34057175 ]
Also Known As "sperm migration from the uterus to the oviduct"
