Identification of Bovine Sperm Surface Proteins Involved in Carbohydrate-mediated Fertilization Interactions

Abstract excerpt

Glycan-protein interactions play a key role in mammalian fertilization, but data on the composition and identities of protein complexes involved in fertilization events are scarce, with the added complication that the glycans in such interactions tend to differ among species. In this study we have used a bovine model to detect, characterize and identify sperm lectins relevant in fertilization. Given the...
