Abstract: Fertilization requires sperm binding to the extracellular zona pellucida (ZP) that surrounds ovulated eggs. Using mouse genetics, the N terminus of ZP2 was defined as the domain essential and sufficient for gamete recognition. These findings have compelling implications in reproductive medicine and serve as a proxy for the identification of the sperm membrane receptor for the zona pellucida. |
