Polysialic Acid Is Present in Mammalian Semen as a Post-translational Modification of the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule NCAM and the Polysialyltransferase ST8SiaII

14 May 2013

Abstract excerpt

Fertilization in animals is a complex sequence of several biochemical events beginning with the insemination into the female reproductive tract and, finally, leading to embryogenesis. Studies by Kitajima and co-workers (Miyata, S., Sato, C., and Kitajima, K. (2007) Trends Glycosci. Glyc, 19, 85–98) demonstrated the presence of polysialic acid (polySia) on sea urchin sperm. Based on these results, we became...
