Identification of distinctive interdomain interactions among ZP‐N, ZP‐C and other domains of zona pellucida glycoproteins underlying association of chicken egg‐coat matrix

Identification of distinctive interdomain interactions among ZP‐N, ZP‐C and other domains of zona pellucida glycoproteins underlying association of chicken egg‐coat matrix

The vertebrate egg coat, including mammalian zona pellucida, is an oocyte‐specific extracellular matrix comprising two to six zona pellucida (ZP) glycoproteins. The egg coat plays important roles in fertilization, especially in species‐specific interactions with sperm to induce the sperm acrosome re...
