متن کاملREPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY AND INFERTILITY Male reproductive proteins and reproductive outcomes
An enormous diversity of antigenically distinct proteins is found in seminal plasma. These include proteases, protease inhibitors, signal transduction molecules, protein kinases and phosphatases, transporter proteins, structural molecules, and immune response proteins. Sperm, too, carry a plethora of surface proteins; these mediate species-specific binding to the zona pellucida surrounding the ...
