The distribution of O‐linked oligosaccharides on the Mr 55,000 glycoproteins, ZP3α and
ZP3, of the porcine oocyte zona pellucida was examined. Purified preparations of endo‐β …

The major macromolecular component of the porcine oocyte zona pellucida is a Mr= 55,000
antigen, termed ZP3, comprised of greater than 25 charge isomers. ZP3 was purified to …

An antiserum directed specifically against ZP2, the major glycoprotein of the mouse egg's
extracellular coat (zona pellucida), has been used to immunoprecipitate intracellular …

Zona pellucida, a transparent envelope surrounding the mammalian oocyte, plays major
roles in fertilization and consists of three or four glycoproteins. Primary structures, and …

Porcine zona pellucida (pZP) glycoprotein 55 kDa is composed of two core polypeptides,
denominated a. and β. Sperm receptor activity has been shown to be associated with the …

A cDNA (rc75) encoding a 75-kDa rabbit zona pellucida (ZP) glycoprotein (R75) has been
cloned and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence consists of 676 amino acids …

The isolation of the porcine zona pellucida, the glycoprotein envelope surrounding the
mammalian oocyte, and the purification of its glycoprotein families is described. The zona …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular glycoprotein matrix that surrounds all mammalian
oocytes. Recent data have shown the presence of four glycoproteins (ZP1, ZP2, ZP3, and …

The mammalian oocyte is encased by a transparent extracellular matrix, the zona pellucida
(ZP), which consists of three glycoproteins, ZPA, ZPB, and ZPC. The glycan structures of the …

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 …
