Abstract
⺠Human spermatozoa express a number of high molecular weight protein complexes. ⺠A subset of these complexes possesses affinity for homologous zonae pellucidae. ⺠Two such complexes were identified as the 20S proteasome and the TCP-1 complex. ⺠Our results provide insight into the mechanisms that govern sperm-egg interaction.
