Oviductin sets the species-specificity of the mammalian zona pellucida

Abstract: The zona pellucida (ZP) is vital for species-specific fertilization as this barrier mediates sperm-oocyte binding. Here, we determined whether sperm from distant mammalian orders (Carnivora, Primates, and Rodentia) could penetrate bovine oocytes by examining the role of bovine oviductal fluid and species-specific oviductal glycoprotein (OVGP1 or oviductin) from bovine, murine, or human sources in modulating the species specificity of bovine and murine oocytes. Sperm from all the species were found to penetrate… Show more
