Separation of the sperm agglutinin and the acrosome reaction-inducing substance in egg jelly of starfish.
???displayArticle.abstract???
The egg jelly of the starfish Asterias amurensis was separated into the fractions J1, J2, and J3 on a Sephadex G-100 column. The Jl fraction induced the acrosome reaction and J2 induced sperm agglutination. Chemical analysis and chromatography revealed that sperm agglutinin is similar to asterosaponin A.
