The plasma membrane of all mammalian eggs is surrounded by a thick extracellular coat,
the zona pellucida (ZP), whose paramount function is to regulate species-specific …

The mouse egg zona pellucida (ZP) is composed of three glycoproteins, called mZP1− 3.
Disruption of the mZP3 gene by targeted mutagenesis yields mice that are homozygous …

The mouse egg extracellular coat, or zona pellucida (ZP), is composed of three
glycoproteins, called mZP1–3, which are synthesized and secreted concomitantly by …

Mammalian eggs are surrounded by a thick extracellular coat, the zona pellucida, that plays
important roles during early development. The mouse egg zona pellucida is constructed of …

All mammalian eggs are surrounded by a relatively thick extracellular coat, called the zona
pellucida (ZP), that plays vital roles during oogenesis, fertilization, and preimplantation …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is a highly organized extracellular coat that surrounds all
mammalian eggs. The mouse egg ZP is composed of three glycoproteins, called mZP1–3 …

For sperm to fertilize eggs, they must bind to and penetrate the zona pellucida (ZP) that
surrounds the plasma membrane of all mammalian eggs. The ZP first appears during oocyte …

Biogenesis of the zona pellucida (ZP), the extracellular coat that surrounds all mammalian
eggs, is a universal and essential feature of mammalian oogenesis and reproduction. The …

The zona pellucida is an extracellular matrix surrounding growing oocytes, ovulated eggs
and the preimplantation embryo. After mediating the relatively species-specific events of …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is a specialized extracellular coat that surrounds the plasma
membrane of mammalian eggs. Its presence is essential for successful completion of …
