Role of zonadhesin during sperm–egg interaction: a species-specific acrosomal molecule with multiple functions

20 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Sperm-zona adhesion is an essential event in mammalian fertilization, failure of which causes sterility. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process are still poorly understood. It has been suggested by few laboratories studying gamete interaction that acrosomal molecules are implicated in sperm-zona pellucida adhesion prior to the acrosome reaction (AR). Zonadhesin, a sperm-specific protein...
