▪ Abstract Many eukaryotic proteins share a sequence designated as the zona pellucida (ZP)
domain. This structural element, present in extracellular proteins from a wide variety of …

All mammalian eggs are surrounded by a relatively thick extracellular coat, the zona
pellucida, that plays vital roles during oogenesis, fertilization, and preimplantation …

Many eukaryotic extracellular proteins share a sequence of unknown function, called the
zona pellucida (ZP) domain. Among these proteins are the mammalian sperm receptors ZP2 …

Fertilization is the process by which haploid gametes, sperm and egg, unite to produce a
genetically distinct individual. Interest in this area has exploded in recent years. Here are …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix that surrounds all mammalian oocytes,
eggs, and early embryos and plays vital roles during oogenesis, fertilization, 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 …

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 an extracellular matrix consisting of three glycoproteins that surrounds
mammalian eggs and mediates fertilization. The primary structures of mouse ZP1, ZP2, and …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix universally surrounding mammalian eggs,
which is essential for oogenesis, fertilization, and pre-implantation embryo development …

The zona pellucida (ZP) is a specialized extracellular coat that surrounds the plasma
