The cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5, and pathogenesis-related 1 proteins (CAP)
superfamily members are found in a remarkable range of organisms spanning each of the …

To achieve fertilization, sperm and egg are equipped with specific molecules which mediate
the steps of gamete interaction. In mammals, the first interaction between sperm and egg …

We report the isolation and characterisation of cDNAs encoding three different, human
members of the cysteine‐rich secretory protein (CRISP) family. The novel CRISP‐I exists in …

Helothermine, a protein from the venom of the Mexican beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum
horridum), was found to inhibit [3H] ryanodine binding to cardiac and skeletal sarcoplasmic …

Ion channels activated by the binding of cyclic nucleotides first were discovered in retinal
rods where they generate the cell's response to light. In other systems, however, it has been …

Cysteine-rich secretory protein 2 (CRISP2) is an important sperm protein and plays roles in
spermatogenesis, modulation of flagellar motility, acrosome reaction, and gamete fusion …

CRISP2, originally known as Tpx-1, is a cysteine-rich secretory protein specifically
expressed in male haploid germ cells. Although likely to be involved in gamete interaction …

We hypothesised that antenatal exposure to ubiquitous phthalates may lead to an earlier
menarche and a lower prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and polycystic …

The final maturation of spermatozoa produced in the testis takes place during their passage
through the epididymis. In this process, the proteins secreted into the epididymal lumen …

STUDY HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize that fertility disorders in patients with aberrant
expression of Cysteine-RIch Secretory Protein 2 (CRISP2) could be linked to the proposed …
