Induction of Epididymal Boar Sperm Capacitation by pB1 and BSP-A1/-A2 Proteins, Members of the BSP Protein Family1
23 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
A family of proteins designated BSP-A1, BSP-A2, BSP-A3, and BSP-30-kDa, collectively called BSP (bovine seminal plasma) proteins, constitute the major protein fraction of bull seminal plasma. BSP proteins can stimulate sperm capacitation by inducing cholesterol and phospholipid efflux from sperm. Boar seminal plasma contains one homologous protein of the BSP family, named pB1; however, its physiological role is...
