Upon fertilization sperm must first penetrate a layer of cumulus cells that surrounds the egg before reaching the zona pellucida. The cumulus cells are embedded in a matrix containing hyaluronic acid which is formed prior to ovulation. This protein aids in penetrating the layer of cumulus cells by digesting hyaluronic acid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8282124}. |Glyco hydro 56| |hyalurononglucosaminidase activity| |fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization| |plasma membrane fusion| |binding of sperm to zona pellucida| |sperm-egg recognition| |cell-cell recognition| |anchored component of membrane| |membrane fusion| |single fertilization| |fertilization| |cell recognition| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |carbohydrate metabolic process| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |membrane organization| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |multi-organism reproductive process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found. ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.415| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 6780 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: -3.28 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
