Background Information

ZP2 is a major component of the zona pellucida to which sperm bind prior to penetrating the zona matrix and fusing with the egg. Following fertilization and cortical granule exocytosis, ZP2 is cleaved by ovastacin after which sperm do not bind to the zona pellucida. The zona pellucida and ovastacin proteins transverse the endomembrane system during oogenesis during which passage ZP2 remains intact. Secreted ZP2 is incorporated into the extracellular zona pellucida surrounding ovulated eggs and is cleaved in the zona matrix surrounding 2-cell embryos. (PMID: 28114310)
