recommended for detection of Calmegin of human origin by WB, IP and ELISA
Modification Notes
Calmegin, belonging to the calreticulin family, is expressed in testis as an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, where it acts as a chaperone protein and plays a role in spermatogenesis. Calmegin is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is transcriptionally regulated in coordination by CpG methyltransferase and histone deacetylase (HDAC). First expressed in meiotic prophase of spermatocytes, Calmegin facilitates sperm-egg zona pellicuda binding through association with sperm membrane proteins (fertilin alpha and beta). A loss in Calmegin results in male sterility. However, if the zona pellicuda is partially dissected and fertilized in vitro, the egg will develop normally.
