The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the acrosome reaction. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle by fusion of the vesicle with the plasma membrane of a cell, requiring the presence of calcium ions. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of exocytosis. The discharge, by sperm, of a single, anterior secretory granule following the sperm's attachment to the zona pellucida surrounding the oocyte. The process begins with the fusion of the outer acrosomal membrane with the sperm plasma membrane and ends with the exocytosis of the acrosomal contents into the egg.
