Concept information
Preferred term
zona pellucida
Note
- The human zona pellucida, a glycoprotein structure surrounding both the unfertilized oocyte and the preembryo is responsible for inducing the acrosome reaction in bound spermatozoa, affords species-specific binding of spermatozoa to the oocyte covering allowing penetration and fertilization, blocks polyspermy, mechanically prevents disruption of the oocyte or preembryo, prevents immune cell attack, and protects both the oocyte and preembryo from biochemical toxicity. Three sulphated zona proteins have been identified, ZP1, ZP2 and ZP3. (Source : INRA)
