The complete primary structure of the spermadhesin AWN, a zona pellucida‐binding protein isolated from boar spermatozoa

6 Apr 1992

Abstract excerpt

AWN is a boar protein which originates in secretions of the male accessory glands and which becomes sperm surface-associated upon ejaculation. It is one of the components thought to mediate sperm adhesion to the egg's zona pellucida through a carbohydrate-recognition mechanism. AWN may, thus, participate in the initial events of fertilization in the pig. In this report we describe its complete primary structure...
