Funded Activity Summary

We have identified gametogenetin as novel protein involved in sperm production and in the very earliest stages of embryo survival. It is found within the sperm tail where it binds to cysteine-rich secretory protein 2. The aim of this project is to further refine the biochemistry of GGN using a combination of binding studies, expression analyses and the characterization of two unique mouse models. This project has direct relevance to the causes of human infertility and contraceptive development.
