Zona pellucida glycoprotein mZP3 is a structural glycoprotein, a sperm receptor, and an acrosome reaction-inducer. The latter two functions are mediated, at least in part, by mZP3 oligosaccharides. mZP3 is unique to mammalian eggs, from mice to humans, although related glycoproteins are found in vitelline envelopes of a variety of eggs, from fish to birds.
透明带糖蛋白mZP3是一种结构糖蛋白、精子受体和顶体反应诱导剂。后两种功能至少部分由mZP3寡糖介导。mZP3是从老鼠到人类的哺乳动物卵子所特有的,尽管在从鱼类到鸟类的各种卵子的卵黄膜中发现了相关糖蛋白。
