Secretion and Assembly of Zona Pellucida Glycoproteins by Growing Mouse Oocytes Microinjected with Epitope-tagged cDNAs for mZP2 and mZP3

1 Feb 2002

Abstract excerpt

The zona pellucida (ZP) is a highly organized extracellular coat that surrounds all mammalian eggs. The mouse egg ZP is composed of three glycoproteins, called mZP1-3, that are synthesized, secreted, and assembled into a ZP exclusively by growing oocytes. Here, we microinjected epitope-tagged (Myc and Flag) cDNAs for mZP2 and mZP3 into the germinal vesicle (nucleus) of growing oocytes isolated from juvenile mice....
