Abstract

The present invention relates to zpep10 polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding the same. Zpep10 polypeptide is a testis-specific membrane glycoprotein. Zpep10 polypeptides would be useful for modulating spermatogenesis and egg-sperm interaction and would be useful to study or modulate these functions in in vitro or in vivo systems. The present invention also includes antibodies to the zpep10 polypeptides.
