Boar spermadhesins AQN‐1 and AWN are sperm‐associated acrosin inhibitor acceptor proteins

23 Mar 1992

Abstract excerpt

Trypsin-like inhibitors secreted by the male accessory sex glands have been identified in the seminal plasma of every mammalian species so far investigated. They bind to acceptor molecules on the anterior part of ejaculated sperm, and are thought to play a role in the capacitation of spermatozoa stabilizing zona pellucida binding sites during sperm uterine passage, and then dissociating to allow sperm-egg's zona...
