| Penetrates up to the level of C-14 into the hydrophobic interior of the membrane (Ramakrishnan et al. 2001). Membrane binding can be modulated by cholesterol ( Swamy et al. 2002). Consistent with orientation proposed by Wah et al. (2002). |

| Major component of seminal plasma. Could enhance the fertilizing capacity of bull spermatozoa upon interaction with heparin-like glycosaminoglycans present in the female genital tract. Exhibits both simulatory and inhibitory actions on the release of pituitary gonadotropins. The dimer has translational rather than C2 symmetry. |
