Involvement of Metalloproteases in the Fertilization of the Ascidian <i>Halocynthia roretzi</i>

Involvement of Metalloproteases in the Fertilization of the Ascidian <i>Halocynthia roretzi</i>

We previously reported that five astacin-like metalloproteases with thrombospondin type-1 repeats (Tasts) located on the sperm surface are a promising candidate as the protease involved in sperm penetration of the vitelline coat (VC) during fertilization of the ascidian <i>Ciona intestinalis&l...
