Abstract excerpt
In the mouse, gamete recognition is mediated in part by the binding of sperm surface beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalTase) to specific oligosaccharide residues on the zona pellucida glycoprotein ZP3 (D. J. Miller, M. B. Macek, and B. D. Shur. Nature 357, 589-593, 1992). The expression of GalTase on the sperm surface is regulated by alleles within the distal segment of the T/t complex and results in a...
