Zona Pellucida and Reproductive Success: The Critical Role of Zona Pellucida Glycoprotein 2
Fertility Science and ResearchReproduction, a fundamental biological process, is vital for ensuring species continuity. Despite its complexity, sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity and allows for more efficient removal of deleterious mutations, ultimately enhancing fitness and survival. However, human fertility rates have been steadily declining, with approximately 17.5%

Development of the zona pellucida in the rat oocyte
American Journal of Anatomy, 1974AbstractOvaries of weanling and juvenile rats were studied by electron microscopic and cytochemical techniques, with particular reference to the role of the Golgi complex in the formation of the zona pellucida. The zona pellucida type of material first appears in the perivitelline space at the stage when the oocyte acquires a single layer of flattened ...

Targeting the zona pellucida for immunocontraception: a minireview
Human Reproduction, 1995This minireview summarizes the main data relevant to the development of contraceptive vaccines based on zona pellucida (ZP) antigens, as well as the pros and the cons of this immunocontraceptive strategy. Even though the antifertility efficacy of anti-ZP antibodies in humans is not corroborated by a clear relationship between spontaneous ...

Posttranslational Modifications of Zona Pellucida Proteins
2014The zona pellucida (ZP), which surrounds the mammalian oocyte, functions in various aspects of fertilization. The ZP consists of three or four glycoproteins, which are derived from transmembrane proteins that lack the ability to self-assemble. Following posttranslational processing at specific sites, ectodomains of ZP precursor proteins are released ...
