Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human ZP3
Biochem/physiol Actions
ZP3 protein is a structural component of zona pellucida, an extracellular matrix that surrounds the oocyte and the early embryo. ZP3 mediates the binding and induction of the sperm acrosome reaction.
Sequence
Synthetic peptide located within the following region: NKGDCGTPSHSRRQPHVMSQWSRSASRNRRHVTEEADVTVGATDLPGQEW
Physical form
Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

An inability or decreased ability of spermatozoa to bind to the zona pellucida (ZP), an extracellular glycoproteinaceous matrix surrounding egg, is one of the plausible causes of idiopathic infertility. It will be clinically useful to distinguish this condition from other
Zona pellucida glycoprotein 3 (ZP3) has been ascribed as a putative primary sperm receptor during fertilization in humans. Herein, attempts have been made to delineate the functional domain of human ZP3. ZP3 has been cloned and expressed in a baculovirus
ZP3 is a principal component of the zona pellucida (ZP) of mammalian oocytes and is essential for normal fertility, and knockout of ZP3 causes complete infertility. ZP3 promotes fertilization by recognizing sperm binding and activating the acrosome reaction; however, additional
