Characterization of human membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) on spermatozoa

13 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

Membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) is a complement regulator widely expressed as four isoforms that arise via alternative splicing. On human spermatozoa, MCP is expressed on the inner acrosomal membrane and alterations of spermatozoa MCP may be associated with infertility. In rodents, expression of MCP is largely restricted to the testes. MCP on human spermatozoa has a unique M(r) pattern that we have...
