The zona pellucida (ZP) is a thick extracellular coat that surrounds all mammalian eggs. The
ZP plays important roles during oogenesis, fertilization, and preimplantation development …

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

The zona pellucida is a unique, oocyte-specific matrix that coats the surface of all
mammalian eggs. Composed of three sulfated glycoproteins in the mouse (ZP1, ZP2, and …

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 …

The mammalian zona pellucida is an extracellular matrix that surrounds growing oocytes,
ovulated eggs and early embryos. The mouse zona is composed of three sulfated …

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 (ZP) is an extracellular matrix surrounding the oocyte and the early
embryo that exerts several important functions during fertilization and early embryonic …

The zona pellucida (ZP), the extracellular glycocalyx that surrounds the oocyte, is well
known to mediate homologous gamete interaction. In a previous study from our laboratories …

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 mouse zona pellucida is composed of three sulfated glycoproteins, encoded by the
oocyte genome, that have important biological functions in preimplantation development …
