CRISP1

SYNONYMS
Cysteine-rich secretory protein 1, ARP, CRISP-1, AEGL1, Acidic epididymal glycoprotein-like 1, HSCRISP1D, HSCRISP1G, HUMARP, AEG-like protein, cysteine-rich secretory protein-1 delta.

INTRODUCTION
Insemination involves of a series of specific cell-cell interactions concluding in the fusion of the sperm and egg plasma membranes. Recognition, binding, and fusion take place through the interface of complementary molecules which 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 belongs to the cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) family. CRISP1 is expressed in the epididymis, is secreted into the epididymal lumen, and binds to the postacrosomal region of the sperm head, where it takes part in sperm-egg fusion.

DESCRIPTION
The CRISP1 Protein Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 238 amino acids (Lys 22 - Lys 249) having a molecular mass of 27kDa.
CRISP1 is fused to 10 amino acids His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
