▪ Abstract Many eukaryotic proteins share a sequence designated as the zona pellucida (ZP)
domain. This structural element, present in extracellular proteins from a wide variety of …

All mammalian eggs are surrounded by a relatively thick extracellular coat, the zona
pellucida, that plays vital roles during oogenesis, fertilization, and preimplantation …

To distinguish the toxicity of whole oil droplets from compounds dissolved in water,
