Complexin-I-deficient sperm are subfertile due to a defect in zona pellucida penetration.

Reproduction (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 2008

Zhao Longmei, Reim Kerstin, Miller David J

Abstract excerpt

Upon adhesion to the zona pellucida, sperm undergo regulated exocytosis of the acrosome. Although it is necessary for sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida and fertilize an egg, the acrosomal membrane fusion process is poorly understood. Complexins I and II are small, cytosolic proteins that bind...
