The modulation of sperm function by fertilization promoting peptide

1 Dec 1998

Abstract excerpt

Fertilization promoting peptide (FPP; pGlu-Glu-ProNH2) is a peptide produced by the prostate gland and then secreted into seminal plasma. Recent studies have shown that the addition of FPP to uncapacitated mouse and human sperm suspensions stimulates capacitation as demonstrated by cytological assessment and increased fertilizing/penetrating ability in vitro, hence its name. Interestingly, the addition of FPP...
