Abstract
A human endometrial sialic acid-binding glycoprotein (SABP) binds specifically to a 25 kDa protein on the plasma membranes of human non-capacitated sperm heads. In-vitro labelling of the sperm surface sialoglycoconjugates and subsequent incubation with SABP, suggests removal of some sialoglycoconjugate moieties from the sperm surface upon interaction with SABP. SABP also induces the exposure of mannose ligand receptors on the sperm surface and increases the production of superoxide anion (O2-).
