The process of fusion of a sperm with the ovum is called fertilization. Before fusion of a spermatozoan with the egg, the spermatozoan has to penetrate a few barriers, the egg membranes, which cover the egg. The secretions of acrosome help the sperm to enter into the cytoplasm of ovum through zona pellucid and the plasma membrane. All the chemicals are contained in the acrosome located at the tip of sperm head and are collectively called sperm lysins. [e.g. CPE, Zonalysin, Hyaluronidase]. The function of hyaluronidase is to puncture the vitelline membrane of egg.
