SPESP1 Recombinant Protein

This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays. For research use only.

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.
Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days.
Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.

Sperm Equatorial Segment Protein 1 (SPESP1) is a member of the SPESP1 family. SPESP1 is highly expressed in the testis, where it is localized to the acrosome of postmeiotic stages of spermiogenesis; it is expressed at lower levels in the placenta and fetal lung. SPESP1 is involved in the multicellular organisimal development. Disruption of SPESP1 leads to abnormal distribution of sperm proteins resulting in a detached membrane from the equatorial segment and less fertile sperm. SPESP1 may interact with IZUMO1 and MN9 antigen and it contains an N-glycosylation site as well as several cAMP-dependent kinase, protein kinase C, and casein kinase II consensus phosphorylation sites.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH7.4. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O.
