Sperm protein "DE" mediates gamete fusion through an evolutionarily conserved site of the CRISP family.

Developmental biology - 1 Sept 2006

Abstract excerpt

The first member of the cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) family was described by our laboratory in the rat epididymis, and it is known as DE or CRISP-1. Since then, numerous CRISPs exhibiting a high amino acid sequence similarity have been identified in animals, plants and fungi, although their functions remain largely unknown. CRISP-1 proteins are candidates to mediate gamete fusion in the rat, mouse and...
