| Function | Receptor for IZUMO1 present at the cell surface of oocytes (oolemma), which is essential for gamete recognition and fertilization. The IZUMO1:IZUMO1R/JUNO interaction is a necessary adhesion event between sperm and egg that is required for fertilization but is not sufficient for cell fusion. The ligand- receptor interaction probably does not act as a membrane 'fusogen'. Does not bind folate (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250}. Note=GPI-anchored at the oolemma. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Top Pathways | Endocytosis |
