Native human zona pellucida glycoproteins: purification and binding properties
10 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fertilization starts with the binding of the spermatozoa to the zona pellucida (ZP) of the oocyte. Such binding is a carbohydrate-mediated event and consists of a series of tightly regulated events. Molecular interactions between spermatozoon and ZP in human are not well characterized due to limited availability of oocytes for research. Our current technology cannot generate recombinant human ZP (hZP)...
