Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to macrobrachium rosenbergii sperm gelatinase-like protease (sperm gelatinase-like protease, SGP) and its coding gene and application. (2) Background technology
[0002] During fertilization, the combination of sperm and egg has the characteristics of specificity among species. As one of the regulators of plasma membrane fusion, proteins on sperm play an important role in this process. In mammals, such as mice, a sperm protein called Izumo is a key factor in the fusion of sperm and egg plasma membranes. Another sperm surface protein, cyritestin, plays an important role in the specific adhesion of sperm to eggs. Proteins (proteases) on sperm also play an important role in the fertilization process in invertebrates. Like abalone, mussels and several snails, the sperm protein lysin is considered to be the main factor for sperm to penetrate the egg membrane. However, in shrimps belonging to arthropods, there are no det...
