Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the fields of biotechnology and medicine. The invention provides a novel human epididymis-specifically expressed sperm-binding protein HEL-122, and discloses the amino acid sequence encoding the HEL-122 protein and the DNA sequence encoding the protein. The invention also discloses the preparation and detection method of the protein, as well as the biological function. This protein plays an important role in sperm maturation, normal fertilization and early embryonic development. The HEL-122 protein can be used as a target protein for the research and development of immune contraceptives, as well as the clinical diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. The research and development of this protein is of great significance to male reproductive medicine. Background technique
[0002] Immunological contraception has been studied for many years as a reversible non-hormonal therapy, and the research focuses on preventing pregna...
