Galactose at the nonreducing terminus of O-linked oligosaccharides of mouse egg zona pellucida glycoprotein ZP3 is essential for the glycoprotein's sperm receptor activity.

During fertilization in mice, zona pellucida glycoprotein ZP3 mediates initial sperm-egg interactions by serving as receptor for sperm. Purified egg ZP3, as well as ZP3-derived O-linked oligosaccharides, exhibit sperm receptor activity in vitro. We report that treatment of purified egg ZP3 and ZP3-d...
