Background
Acrosin is the major proteinase present in the acrosome of mature spermatozoa. It is a typical serine proteinase with trypsin-like specificity. It is stored in the acrosome in its precursor form, proacrosin. The active enzyme functions in the lysis of the zona pellucida, thus facilitating penetration of the sperm through the innermost glycoprotein layers of the ovum. The mRNA for proacrosin is synthesized only in the postmeiotic stages of spermatogenesis. In humans proacrosin first appears in the haploid spermatids. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:Preferential cleavage: Arg-|-Xaa, Lys-|-Xaa.,function:Acrosin is the major protease of mammalian spermatozoa. It is a serine protease of trypsin-like cleavage specificity, it is synthesized in a zymogen form, proacrosin and stored in the acrosome.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.,subunit:Heavy chain (catalytic) and a light chain linked by two disulfide bonds.,
