Influence of the zona pellucida of the mouse egg on folliculogenesis and fertility.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jan 2012

Wassarman Paul M, Litscher Eveline S

Abstract excerpt

All mammalian eggs are surrounded by a relatively thick extracellular coat, called the zona pellucida (ZP), that plays vital roles during oogenesis, fertilization, and preimplantation development. The mouse egg ZP consists of three glycoproteins, called mZP1-3, that are synthesized solely by oocytes during their 2-to-3 week growth phase. The ZP is seen initially as isolated extracellular deposits of nascent ZP...
