Herring (Clupea harengus) shows the unique behavior of reproductive biology in which spermatozoa remains in the surrounding media for extended periods. It is an excellent model for studying the malic enzyme (ME) and creatine kinase (CK) biochemical properties because of their high activity and variability of molecular isoforms. The specific activity of NAD-preferring ME in herring spermatozoa is the highest among other fish spermatozoa and is localized in its large mitochondrion. Two different CK isoforms, dimer and octamer, were detected in herring spermatozoa. It has already been shown that CK isoforms play an important role in energy homeostasis by catalyzing a reversible transfer of the phosphate of ATP to creatine to yield ADP and creatine phosphate (CP) (creatine/CP circuit). Two lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes were also shown in herring spermatozoa, LDH-B 4 and LDH-A 2 B 2 . In this mini-review, the role of ME and energy transport system with easily diffusible creatine and CP in herring spermatozoa is discussed.
