Abstract excerpt
Oviductins are high-molecular-weight glycoproteins specifically secreted by the oviduct. These proteins bind to the zona pellucida of the ovulated oocyte and remain associated with the embryo during its transit in the oviduct. They may be involved in fertilization and early embryonic development. In order to explore their putative biological function, the cDNA sequence corresponding to oviductin in the golden...
