Isolation and biochemical characterization of heparin‐binding proteins from boar seminal plasma: A dual role for spermadhesins in fertilization
1 May 1993
Abstract excerpt
Sperm surface-coated heparin-binding proteins originating from secretions of the male sexual accessory glands, are known to play a pivotal role as extrinsic regulatory factors during sperm capacitation in many mammalian species. They interact with glycosaminoglycans present in the female genital tract and enhance the subsequent zona pellucida-induced acrosome reaction. We have isolated heparin-binding proteins...
