Research Excerpts

Overview

Speract is a decapeptide from the outer jelly layer of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus egg. Upon binding to its receptor in the sperm, it stimulates sperm motility, respiration and ion fluxes.

"Speract is a potent stimulator of sea urchin sperm oxygen consumption, causing significant increases of sperm respiration rates at concentrations as low as 10(-12) M and producing 20-fold increases of oxygen consumption at maximal concentrations of 10(-8) M."( Speract.
