Characterization and classification of human zona pellucida glycoproteins is essential to
understand the functions of these components during fertilization. To achieve this …

The mouse zona pellucida is composed of three glycoproteins, ZP1, ZP2 and ZP3, encoded
by single-copy genes whose expression is temporally and spatially restricted to oocytes. All …

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 …

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

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's zona pellucida (ZP) is composed of three glycoproteins, called ZP1, ZP2,
and ZP3, that migrate as relatively broad, single bands on SDS–PAGE. The glycoproteins …

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) …

Progress in research on initiation of folliculogenesis has progressed slowly because of a
lack of markers for early folliculogenesis. The rabbit zona pellucida protein (ZP1) is …

Formation of the egg's extracellular matrix, the zona pellucida, is critical for fertilization and
development of growing embryos. Zona pellucida glycoproteins, ZP1, ZP2, and ZP3, are …

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