Cloning of Rainbow Trout Egg Envelope Proteins: Members of a Unique Group of Structural Proteins1
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
All vertebrate eggs are surrounded by an extracellular envelope that protects the egg and is vital for a successful fertilization. The terminology and functions of the egg envelope vary in different vertebrate groups, but the envelope itself is consistently composed of a few major proteins that are deposited around the oocyte during oocyte growth.
