Interaction between gametes during fertilization is at least in part regulated by carbohydrate
moieties of the zona pellucida (ZP) and carbohydrate binding proteins of the sperm surface …

The fertilization process in mammals involves binding and fusion of free-swimming sperm
and ovulated eggs. This review focuses on the role of carbohydrate residues in the process …

Mammalian fertilization usually requires three sequential cell–cell interactions:(i) initial
binding of sperm to the specialized extracellular matrix coating the egg known as the zona …

The identity of the sperm surface protein (s) responsible for sperm‐zona pellucida binding in
the mouse, as well as the characteristics of the oligosaccharide groups on zona pellucida …

BACKGROUND An essential step in the process of mammalian fertilization is the recognition
and binding between spermatozoa and the egg's extracellular coat, the zona pellucida (ZP) …

Fertilization is the most important cell adhesion event in the life time of any organism. In a
number of organisms ranging from echinoderms to mammals, the recognition of …

Gamete recognition and adhesion are essential steps in the complex process of fertilization.
In mammals and in other species, increasing evidence indicates that carbohydrate‐binding …

Initial sperm-egg binding in mammals involves recognition of glycosylated proteins of egg
zonae by glycosylated proteins on sperm surfaces. Egg zona protein structure is relatively …

Fertilisation is a highly programmed process by which two radically different cells, sperm
and egg, unite to form a zygote, a cell with somatic chromosome numbers. Development of …
