Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 22786 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable acrosin binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of egg coat. Predicted to be involved in binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida and prevention of polyspermy. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in early conceptus; ovary; and secondary oocyte. Orthologous to human ZP1 (zona pellucida glycoprotein 1). PHENOTYPE: Female homozygous mutants produce oocytes with abnormal zona pellucida. Fecunditiy is significantly reduced, probably due to precocious hatching. [provided by MGI curators] |
