epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-145 mapping at the C-terminus of ADAM1 of mouse origin
Modification Notes
Fertilin, also known as PH-30, is a sperm surface protein that is a member of the MDC (metalloprotease, disintigrin-like, cysteine-rich) family of proteins. This family is also known as the ADAM (a disintegrin and a metalloprotease domain) family of proteins because the members contain a metalloprotease and a disintegrin domain. Approximately 30 ADAM family members have been identified so far, and members of this family function as proteases and/or as cell adhesion molecules. Fertilin is a heterodimer of fertilin-å and fertilin-∫ subunits, which are also known as ADAM1 and ADAM2, respectively. Both subunits are synthesized in the testis as larger precursors. ADAM1 is proteolytically processed in the testis into the mature form, while ADAM2 undergoes final processing during the epididymal transit. ADAM1 is also expressed, to a much lesser extent, in the liver. Functional blocking of the disintegrin domains of both ADAM1 and ADAM2 inhibits sperm-egg binding, and recombinant forms of the extracellular domains of both subunits bind the surface of eggs.
