| Description |
A human endometrial sialic acid-binding glycoprotein (SABP) binds specifically to a 25 kDa protein on
the plasma membranes of human non-capacitated sperm heads. In-vitro labelling of the sperm surface
sialoglycoconjugates and subsequent incubation with SABP, suggests removal of some sialoglycoconjugate
moieties from the sperm surface upon interaction with SABP. SABP also induces the exposure of mannose
ligand receptors on the sperm surface and increases the production of superoxide anion (O2
.–).
Key words:human sperm capacitation/mannose receptor/SABP/sialoglycoconjugates/superoxide anion
