Background The human egg coat, zona pellucida (ZP), is composed of four glycoproteins
designated as zona pellucida glycoprotein-1 (ZP1),-2 (ZP2),-3 (ZP3) and-4 (ZP4) …

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the zona pellucida (ZP) may mediate species-
specific fertilization. In human the ZP is composed of four glycoproteins: ZP1, ZP2, ZP3 and …

The zona pellucida (ZP), a glycoproteinaceous matrix surrounding the mammalian oocyte
plays an important role in species-specific sperm–egg binding, induction of acrosome …

A translucent matrix termed the zona pellucida (ZP) surrounds the mammalian oocyte. It
plays a critical role in fertilization by acting as a" docking site" for binding of spermatozoa …

To delineate the functional aspects of zona pellucida (ZP) glycoproteins during fertilization in
human, in the present study, fluorochrome‐conjugated Escherichia coli (E. coli)‐and …

Zona pellucida (ZP) is a glycoproteinaceous translucent matrix that surrounds the
mammalian oocyte and plays a critical role in the accomplishment of fertilization. In humans …

The human zona pellucida (ZP) is composed of three major glycoproteins: ZP1, ZP2, and
ZP3. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of ZP2 by focusing on the polypeptide …

Human zona pellucida (ZP) matrix is composed of four glycoproteins designated as ZP
glycoprotein-1 (ZP1),-2 (ZP2),-3 (ZP3), and-4 (ZP4). Mutations in the genes encoding human …

In the last decade, scientific investigations pertaining to the role of zona pellucida (ZP)
glycoproteins during fertilization in humans have led to new insights. This has been …

To facilitate our understanding of the role of zona pellucida glycoproteins during fertilization
in humans, recombinant human zona pellucida glycoprotein-A (hZPA),-B (hZPB) and-C …
