Progesterone/BSA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Progesterone/BSA is a conjugate of Progesterone (HY-N0437) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Progesterone/BSA cannot penetrate the plasma membrane of human sperm, but still rapidly elevates intracellular free calcium and induces the acrosome reaction. Progesterone/BSA can also act as a probe to specifically bind to progesterone-binding proteins on the membrane of rat brain synaptosomes.

Biological Activity
Progesterone/BSA (5.2-52 μg/mL; 1 min) significantly increases the acrosome reaction rate of capacitated human spermatozoa[1].
Progesterone/BSA (5.2 μg/mL) induces a rapid, transient increase in intracellular free calcium levels in capacitated human spermatozoa[1].
