Sperm Peroxidases and Their Possible Role as Glycoprotein‐Containing Con A and Wheat Germ Lectin Receptors
ABSTRACT: Peroxidases have been detected in the membrane of the ejaculated normal spermatozoon; their distribution on the different zones of the gamete has been determined. This distribution is similar to that of the N‐linked glycoprotein‐containing oligosaccharides. Their resemblance and similarity...

| Sumario: | ABSTRACT: Peroxidases have been detected in the membrane of the ejaculated normal spermatozoon; their distribution on the different zones of the gamete has been determined. This distribution is similar to that of the N‐linked glycoprotein‐containing oligosaccharides. Their resemblance and similarity to the plant peroxidases, which are glycoproteins with N‐type oligosaccharides, suggest that the sperm peroxidases might be, at least partially, identical to concanavalin A (Con A) and wheat germ lectin glycoprotein‐containing receptors. 1989 Munksgaard |
