gene geneOn this page
Summary
ACR (acrosin, HGNC:126) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q13.33, encoding Acrosin (P10323). Acrosin is the major protease of mammalian spermatozoa.
Acrosin is the major proteinase present in the acrosome of mature spermatozoa. It is a typical serine proteinase with trypsin-like specificity. It is stored in the acrosome in its precursor form, proacrosin. The active enzyme functions in the lysis of the zona pellucida, thus facilitating penetration of the sperm through the innermost glycoprotein layers of the ovum. The mRNA for proacrosin is synthesized only in the postmeiotic stages of spermatogenesis. In humans proacrosin first appears in the haploid spermatids.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
ACR is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 21 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 3 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

- Binding sites for recombinant human zona pellucida (ZP) glycoproteins located at the N- and C-termini of proacrosin reveal a key role of the proenzyme in the interaction. (PMID:15950651)
- DNA immunization against proacrosin impairs fertility in male mice. (PMID:22452365)
- Sperm DNA damage is closely related with sperm-nucleoprotein transition, acrosin activity and seminal parameters. (PMID:23297503)
- Data indicate that the positive expression of studied genes fertilization rate for GAPDHS positive subset was 66%, ACR - 71%, SPATA22 - 68%, MND1 - 70%, pregnancy rates were 8%, 6%, 18% and 36% respectively. (PMID:23675907)
- Study revealed significantly higher acrosin activity and a lower DNA fragmentation index in subjects with moderate or high mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) compared to those with low MMP. (PMID:30428044)

Acrosin — P10323 (reviewed: P10323)
All UniProt accessions (2): E9PLV5, P10323
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Acrosin is the major protease of mammalian spermatozoa. It is a serine protease of trypsin-like cleavage specificity, it is synthesized in a zymogen form, proacrosin and stored in the acrosome.
Subunit / interactions. Heavy chain (catalytic) and a light chain linked by two disulfide bonds. Forms a heterodimer with SERPINA5.
Disease relevance. Spermatogenic failure 87 (SPGF87) [MIM:620500] An autosomal recessive male infertility disorder characterized by inability of mutant sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida, resulting in fertilization failure. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by SERPINA5.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
