Characterization of epididymal proteins Electrophoretic analysis of epididymal fluid proteins

© 1998 Journals of Reproduction and Fertility 1359-6004/98 $12.50 Before mammalian spermatozoa can interact with the egg in vivo, they are subjected to post-testicular modifications in the male as well as in the female genital tract. The evidence that this post-testicular maturation process requires exposure to a specific microenvironment within the epididymis has been reviewed elsewhere (Orgeb...

A ram epididymal secretory protein shares common antigenic determinants with rat epididymal proteins and human seminal plasma proteins.

Mammalian spermatozoa leave the testis as immature cells unable to fertilize until they have traversed the epididymis. Sperm maturation is an orchestrated series of sequential events occurring at different levels of the epididymis : sperm-zona pellucida binding ability in the proximal epididymis, progressive motility and the ability to penetrate and fertilize the oocyte in the middle epididymis...

Systematic mapping and functional analysis of a family of human epididymal secretory sperm-located proteins.

The mammalian spermatozoon has many cellular compartments, such as head and tail, permitting it to interact with the female reproductive tract and fertilize the egg. It acquires this fertilizing potential during transit through the epididymis, which secretes proteins that coat different sperm domains. Optimal levels of these proteins provide the spermatozoon with its ability to move to, bind to...

Fertility was expressed as the percentage point deviation of bull non-return rate (PD) from the average fertility of all bulls at an artificial insemination center. Number of services for each bull ranged from 1,07...

Proteins I: Characterization and Sequence

In chapter 2, a brief introduction to proteins has been provided. Proteins are built up of amino acids, which form their building blocks. In all, there are 20 alpha amino acids found in proteins, and the specificity of a protein molecule is determined by their number and sequence. In different permutation and combinations of amino acids, about 107 different types of protein molecules may exist ...
