Function | Essential sperm cell-surface protein required for fertilization by acting as a ligand for IZUMO1R/JUNO receptor on egg. 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'. Acts a ligand for the human- specific oolemma epitope FCRL3/MAIA during fertilization (PubMed:36070373). FCRL3/MAIA replaces IZUMO1R/JUNO as IZUMO1 receptor after sperm-egg adhesion, which permits species-specific gamete fusion (PubMed:36070373). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Localizes initially to the acrosome membrane of the sperm head (both outer and inner acrosomal membranes) (PubMed:36070373). During the acrosome reaction, translocates to the plasma membrane (PubMed:15759005, PubMed:36070373). |
Tissue Location | Sperm-specific (at protein level) (PubMed:15759005, PubMed:36070373). Detectable on sperm surface only after the acrosome reaction (PubMed:15759005, PubMed:36070373) |
