The acrosin activity is assayed by many reproductive medicine centers as an indicator of sperm cell functions. The result of this test is often applied for assessing the quality of spermatozoa and risk of male infertility; for the measurement of sperm cell viability in research and/or optimization of sperm cryopreservation in different species; for decision making on ICSI procedure in IVF. This minireview summarizes the detection method, the relation between acrosin activity and sperm cell morphology/ function and discusses the applications of acrosin activity for research and clinical purposes. Comments on the knowledge gaps and future studies are also provided.
