What (who) is ZP3 - definition


ZP3         
PROTEIN-CODING GENE IN THE SPECIES HOMO SAPIENS
ZP3 (gene)
Zona pellucida sperm-binding protein 3, also known as zona pellucida glycoprotein 3 (Zp-3) or the sperm receptor, is a ZP module-containing protein that in humans is encoded by the ZP3 gene. ZP3 is the receptor in the zona pellucida which binds sperm at the beginning of fertilization.
Examples of use of ZP3
1. The gene makes a protein known as ZP3, which is found on the egg‘s outer coating – the layer the sperm latches on to during fertilisation.
2. The scientists are confident that a contraceptive which used the RNA drug would not affect the rest of the body because the ZP3 protein is made only by ripening eggs.
