BSPH1

Gene
Bsph1
Protein
Binder of sperm protein homolog 1
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
133 amino acids
Function
Binds sperm in vitro and promotes sperm capacitation (PubMed:22539676, PubMed:24307707). Specifically promotes capacitation induced by high density lipoproteins (HDLs) (PubMed:25602034). Also binds heparin, phospholipid liposomes, and weakly to gelatin (PubMed:22539676). Does not bind chondroitin sulfate B (PubMed:22539676).
Similarity
Belongs to the seminal plasma protein family.
