Protein
Sperm acrosome membrane-associated protein 3
Function
Sperm surface membrane protein that may be involved in sperm-egg plasma membrane adhesion and fusion during fertilization. It could be a potential receptor for the egg oligosaccharide residue N-acetylglucosamine, which is present in the extracellular matrix over the egg plasma membrane. The processed form has no detectable bacteriolytic activity in vitro (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family.
