GO Term : GO:0160131 sperm migration through the uterotubal junction GO

Namespace  biological_process Obsolete  false
Description  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.

Identifier Name Description
GO:0009987 cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level.
GO:0008150 biological_process A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence.
GO:0007017 microtubule-based process Any cellular process that depends upon or alters the microtubule cytoskeleton, that part of the cytoskeleton comprising microtubules and their associated proteins.
GO:0022414 reproductive process A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
GO:0007018 microtubule-based movement A microtubule-based process that results in the movement of organelles, other microtubules, or other cellular components. Examples include motor-driven movement along microtubules and movement driven by polymerization or depolymerization of microtubules.
GO:0048870 cell motility Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another.
GO:0001539 cilium or flagellum-dependent cell motility Cell motility due to movement of eukaryotic cilia or bacterial-type flagella or archaeal-type flagella.
GO:0048609 multicellular organismal reproductive process The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of a multicellular organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs.
GO:0016477 cell migration The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues.
GO:0003341 cilium movement The directed, self-propelled movement of a cilium.
GO:0060294 cilium movement involved in cell motility Movement of cilia mediated by motor proteins that contributes to the movement of a cell.
GO:0097722 sperm motility Any process involved in the controlled movement of a sperm cell.
GO:0060285 cilium-dependent cell motility Cell motility due to the motion of one or more eukaryotic cilia. A eukaryotic cilium is a specialized organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole.
GO:0030317 flagellated sperm motility The directed, self-propelled movement of a cilium (aka flagellum) that contributes to the movement of a flagellated sperm.
GO:0160131 sperm migration through the uterotubal junction 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.
