N
• female mice exhibit normal fertility
• male mice exhibit normal mating behavior and reproductive tissue morphology with normal sperm counts and motility
• severely limited sperm passage from the uterus to the oviduct due to reduced sperm to sperm adhesion
• 4 males only produce 2 litters totaling 4 pups in 6 months
• severely reduced with 4 males only producing 2 litters totaling 4 pups in 6 months
• small reduction in sperm binding to cumulus-intact oocytes
• impaired binding to the zona pellucida
