Juno Is The Egg Izumo Receptor and Is by Mike zombie is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Juno is the egg Izumo receptor and is essential for mammalian fertilization. Sperm and egg recognize each other and fuse to form a new, genetically distinct organism. Female mice lacking Juno are infertile and Juno-deficient eggs do not fuse with normal sperm. Our discovery of an essential receptor pair at the nexus of conception provides opportunities for the rational development of new fertility treatments and contraceptives.
