ZP4 Is Present in Murine Zona Pellucida and Is Not Responsible for the Specific Gamete Interaction

Mammalian eggs are surrounded by an extracellular matrix called the zona pellucida (ZP). This envelope participates in processes such as acrosome reaction induction, sperm binding, protection of the oviductal embryo, and may be involved in speciation.
