motifs/domains
  • a conserved ZP domain, a signature domain comprised of approximately 260 amino acid (aa) residues, that has functional activity and may have a role during fertilization

    basic FUNCTION
  • promote acrosomal exocytosis and now establish an additional role for these components as modifiers of sperm motility
  • ZP1, ZP3, and ZP4 have been shown to bind to the capacitated human sperm, and acrosome reaction can be mediated by ZP1, ZP3, and ZP4
