    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the zona pellucida family of glycoproteins that play an important role in the survival of growing oocytes, successful fertilization and the passage of early embryos through the oviduct. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the mature polypeptide that is incorporated into the extracellular matrix surrounding mouse oocytes. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop defective zonae pellucidae that disrupt folliculogenesis, fertility and development. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

    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.
