The zona pellucida is the extracellular coat that surrounds the mammalian oocyte. It forms a
spherical shell of remarkably uniform thickness (5-10 microns in eutherian mammals). The …

The zona pellucida of mouse oocytes, composed of three major glycoproteins (ZP1, ZP2,
and ZP3), performs crucial functions at fertilization and in early development. The transcripts …

Zona pellucida (ZP), the extracellular matrix sheltering mammalian oocytes and embryos, is
composed by 3 to 4 proteins. The roles of the three proteins present in mice have been …

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 zona pellucida (ZP), which surrounds the mammalian oocyte, functions in various
aspects of fertilization. The ZP consists of three or four glycoproteins, which are derived from …

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 …

The extracellular matrix surrounding mammalian oocytes plays important roles in fertilization
and is known as the zona pellucida (ZP). The ZP consists of three glycoproteins, ZPA, ZPB …

The zona pellucida is an extracellular matrix that mediates taxon-specific fertilization in
which human sperm will not bind to mouse eggs. The mouse zona pellucida is composed of …

During murine oogenesis, the zona pellucida proteins (ZP1, ZP2, and ZP3) are synthesized
and secreted to form an extracellular matrix that surrounds the oocyte and mediates specific …

The egg envelope, referred to as zona pellucida (ZP) in mammalian eggs, is a fibrous and
noncollagenous extracellular matrix surrounding vertebrate eggs, and composed of three to …
