Sperm equatorial segment protein 1, SPESP1, is required for fully fertile sperm in mouse

8 Apr 2010

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian fertilization is a multistep process that culminates in the fusion of the sperm and egg plasma membrane. It is widely accepted that the equatorial segment of the acrosome-reacted sperm is important in initiating fusion with the egg plasma membrane during fertilization. There are various proteins known to be distributed only in the equatorial segment of sperm. The role of these proteins must be clarified...
