Type: | Family | Name: | Spermadhesin |
Description: | A family of mammalian sperm proteins has been characterised [, ].As shown in the following schematic representation these proteins, which have from 110 to 130 amino acid residues, contain four conserved cysteines involvedin two disulphide bonds. Structurally, the spermadhesins consist of a CUB domain [].+---------+ +---------+ | | | |xxxxCxxxxxxxxxCxxxxxxxxxxxCxxxxxxxxxCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'C': conserved cysteine involved in a disulphide bond. | Short Name: | Spermadhesin |
