Avian oviductal fluids contain phosphorylating-dephosphorylating enzymes that
might function in sperm-oocyte interactions. Phosphorprotein phosphatase and protein kinase
have been purified 20-fold and 40-fold, respectively. The latter easily aggregates and is highly
labile. Other properties are comparable to those of holoenzymes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
