Rabbit Anti-CRISP1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Fertilization consists of a sequence of specific cell-cell interactions culminating in the fusion of the sperm and egg plasma membranes. Recognition, binding, and fusion occur through the interaction of complementary molecules that are localized to specific domains of the sperm and egg plasma membranes. In the sperm, the postacrosomal region or equatorial segment is involved in sperm-egg plasma membrane fusion. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) family. It is expressed in the epididymis, is secreted into the epididymal lumen, and binds to the postacrosomal region of the sperm head, where it plays a role in sperm-egg fusion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
Function:
May have a role in sperm-egg fusion and maturation.

Note=Located in the lumen and epithelium of distal ductus efferentes and epididymal ducts, and on the postacrosomal region of the sperm head.
Tissue Specificity:
Caput, corpus, and cauda regions of the epididymis, the ductus deferens, sperm and seminal plasma.
Similarity:
Belongs to the CRISP family.
Contains 1 SCP domain.
