Summary
Zona Pellucida Proteins
are glycoproteins that form a
Protective extracellular matrix
around
Mammalian oocytes
, playing crucial roles in fertilization by mediating
Sperm Binding
and preventing polyspermy. These proteins are essential for
Species-specific Sperm Recognition
and are involved in the
Acrosome Reaction
, a
Critical step in the fertilization process
.
