Description
Product Characteristics:
Aliases: ASTLAstacin-like metalloendopeptidase antibody, EC 3.4.-.- antibody, Oocyte astacin antibody, Ovastacin antibody
Target Information: Oocyte-specific oolemmal receptor involved in sperm and egg adhesion and fertilization. Plays a role in the polyspermy inhibition. Probably acts as a protease for the post-fertilization cleavage of ZP2. Cleaves the sperm-binding ZP2 at the surface of the zona pellucida after fertilization and cortical granule exocytosis, rendering the zona pellucida unable to support further sperm binding (By similarity)
