Abstract
Synthetic peptides corresponding to specific regions of the mouse acro somal transmembrane protein cyritestin have been used as competitors i n in vitro fertilization experiments. One peptide representing a putat ive egg-receptor binding site within the disintegrin domain of cyrites tin lowered the fertilization rate to 30% of the normal value.
