Summary: Enables protein binding activity involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion; protein homodimerization activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization; heterotypic cell-cell adhesion; and sperm-egg recognition. Located in acrosomal membrane and plasma membrane. Is integral component of membrane. Orthologous to human IZUMO1 (izumo sperm-egg fusion 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

The crystal structure of Izumo1 reveals a membrane distal region composed of a four-helix bundle connected to a carboxy-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain through a beta-hairpin stabilized by disulfide bonds. Remarkably, different regions of Izumo1 display significant structural similarities to two proteins expressed by the invasive sporozoite stage of Plasmodium parasites: SPECT1, and TRAP.
Title: The structure of sperm Izumo1 reveals unexpected similarities with Plasmodium invasion proteins.
Mice without the cytoplasmic tail of IZUMO1 showed normal fertility but decreased the amount of protein, indicating that whilst this region is important for the expression level of IZUMO1, it is dispensable for fertilisation in the mouse

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
