Serine protease activity, bovine sperm protease, 66 kDa (BSP66), is present in hamster sperm and is involved in sperm-zona interaction

Bovine sperm protease, 66 kDa (BSp66) is a serine protease previously characterized in bovine spermatozoa. Like other proteases, it may be present in sperm from other mammalian species different from bovine, playing a role in the fertilization process. In this study, we looked for BSp66 in hamster s...

In this study, we looked for BSp66 in hamster spermatozoa using heterologous antibodies against bovine BSp66. An immunoreactive protein was detected by Western blotting in mature and immature sperm. The detected protein had two isoforms similar to the ones reported in bovine sperm.

Moreover, hamster BSp66 is probably involved in zona pellucida recognition. © 2005 Society for Reproduction and Fertility.
