Abstract
brukman and colleagues provide evidence that the sperm surface protein IZUMO1, which is essential for mammalian fertilization, can induce membrane fusion in cultured cells.the molecular mechanism of sperm-egg fusion is a long-standing mystery in reproduction. brukman and colleagues (2022. J. Cell biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202207147) now provide evidence that the sperm surface protein IZUMO1, which is essential for mammalian fertilization, can induce membrane fusion in cultured cells.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
