The role of carbohydrate recognition during human sperm-egg binding

12 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

STUDY QUESTION: What is the role of carbohydrates in the binding of human sperm to the zona pellucida (ZP) and what are potential implications for pathogenesis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Both lectin-like and protein-protein interactions play an essential role in human gamete interactions. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Studies in the mouse and human indicate a role for both lectin-like and protein-protein interactions during sperm...
