Crystal structure of the human egg surface protein Juno

Structural highlights
Function[JUNO_HUMAN] Receptor for IZUMO1 present at the cell surface of oocytes (oolemma), which is essential for species-specific gamete recognition and fertilization. The IZUMO1:IZUMO1R/JUNO interaction is a necessary adhesion event between sperm and egg that is required for fertilization but is not sufficient for cell fusion. The ligand-receptor interaction probably does not act as a membrane 'fusogen'. Does not bind folate.[UniProtKB:Q9EQF4] Contents | ||||||||||||||||||||
