The mouse zona pellucida: folliculogenesis, fertility and pre-implantation development.

Molecular and cellular endocrinology - 25 May 2000

Rankin T, Soyal S, Dean J

Abstract excerpt

Perinatally, oocytes within the mouse ovary become surrounded by a layer of flattened granulosa cells and form primordial follicles. The subsequent accretion of the zona pellucida between the oocytes and granulosa cells provides a biochemical marker of folliculogenesis. In mice, the zona matrix is composed of three proteins (ZP1, ZP2, ZP3). Mouse lines lacking either ZP1 or ZP3 have been established and have...
