Characterization of Recombinant Murine Binder of Sperm Protein Homolog 1 and Its Role in Capacitation1
27 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Sperm capacitation is a maturation step that is deemed to be essential for sperm to fertilize an oocyte. A family of proteins, the binder of sperm (BSP), are known to bind choline phospholipids on sperm membranes and promote capacitation in bulls and boars. Recently, BSP-homologous genes have been identified in the epididymal tissues of human (BSPH1) and mouse (Bsph1, Bsph2). The aim of this study was to...
