Summary: Enables receptor ligand activity. A structural constituent of egg coat. Involved in several processes, including oogenesis; positive regulation of acrosome reaction; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and plasma membrane. Is expressed in ovary; ovary preantral follicle; and testis. Orthologous to human ZP3 (zona pellucida glycoprotein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
