| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We reported that human sperm motility was enhanced by treating endo-β-galactosidase (EBGase), one of glycolytic enzymes. In this research, we aimed at preparing recombinant EBGase for clinical application.
We identified six different recombinant EBGases. In all four formulations that could be synthesized in large amounts, motility activation in human sperm was observed as well as existing EBGase. Furthermore, we were able to select the optimal recombinant EBGase from among these and determine the optimal dose and reaction time.
