This article from PubMed explores the role of the ZP2 receptor and protein in the prevention of polyspermy and ensuring only species-specific fusion of spermatozoa and an oocyte occurs. ZP2 is a glycoprotein found in a region of the zona pellucida which surrounds an oocyte, the female gamete. Polyspermy is where membrane fusion occurs between one oocyte and more than one spermatozoa. The authors of this article used gamete samples from both mice and human origin to illustrate their findings. | |||
