Expression of homeobox-containing genes in cDNA libraries derived from cattle oocytes and preimplantation stage embryo.

abstract：:Members of the Binder of SPerm (BSP) superfamily have been identified in both human and mouse epididymis. These proteins are known to bind sperm membrane and promote sperm capacitation. Studies suggest that BSPH2 might play a different role in sperm functions from its counterparts; however, the role of BSPH2 remains m...
