Structural Analysis of Murine Zona Pellucida Glycans
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Murine sperm initiate fertilization by binding to specific oligosaccharides linked to the zona pellucida, the specialized matrix coating the egg. Biophysical analyses have revealed the presence of both high mannose and complex-type N-glycans in murine zona pellucida. The predominant high mannose-type glycan had the composition Man(5)GlcNAc(2), but larger oligosaccharides of this type were also detected....
