  • Function
    The mammalian zona pellucida, which mediates species-specific sperm binding, induction of the acrosome reaction and prevents post-fertilization polyspermy, is composed of three to four glycoproteins, ZP1, ZP2, ZP3, and ZP4. ZP2 may act as a secondary sperm receptor.
  • Tissue specificity
    Oocytes.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the ZP domain family. ZPA subfamily.
    Contains 1 ZP domain.
  • Developmental stage
    Expressed during the 2-week growth phase of oogenesis, prior to ovulation.
  • Domain
    The ZP domain is involved in the polymerization of the ZP proteins to form the zona pellucida.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Proteolytically cleaved before the transmembrane segment to yield the secreted ectodomain incorporated in the zona pellucida.
    Proteolytically cleaved in the N-terminal part after fertilization, yielding a N-terminal peptide of about 30 kDa which remains covalently attached to the C-terminal peptide via disulfide bond(s). This cleavage may play an important role in the post-fertilization block to polyspermy.
    O-glycosylated; contains sulfate-substituted glycans.
  • Cellular localization
    Secreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix and Cell membrane.
