The human zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular glycoprotein matrix composed of ZP1,
ZP2, ZP3, and ZP4 surrounding the oocyte, and it plays an important role in sperm–egg …

Background The zona pellucida (ZP) of human oocytes plays essential protective roles in
sperm–egg interactions during fertilisation and embryo development. ZP4-null female …

Spermatozoa undergo complex sequences of precisely timed events during the process of
fertilization. These priming events, which comprise capacitation, egg recognition, acrosome …
