Characterization of phosphoglycerate kinase from human spermatozoa

Fertil Steril. 1976 Jun;27(6):699-701.

Abstract

We have confirmed the presence of a unique electrophoretic isoenzyme of phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) in homogenate extracts of human sperm. No genetic variation was found in 30 individual specimens tested. However, immunologic neutralization studies indicate that the sperm PGK is different from red cell PGK.
