Sperm N-acetylglucosaminidase is involved in primary binding to the zona pellucida

7 Jul 2006

Abstract excerpt

The glycosidase-recognizing N-acetylglucosamine terminal residue, N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), has been repetitively implicated in fertilization. Nevertheless, its role in the multiple steps comprising this process is a matter of debate because it has been involved in zona pellucida (ZP) binding and penetration and polyspermy block. In this study, the involvement of NAG during sperm interaction with the ZP was...
