Target Information

The mammalian zona pellucida is composed of four major glycoproteins: ZP1, ZP2, ZP3, and ZP4, which may act as sperm receptors. Two forms of porcine ZP4 peptides exist: one with 128 amino acids and another with 133 amino acids; the larger form has an additional five amino acids at its carboxy-terminal end. Both peptides have two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The smaller peptide shares 39.1% identity with the amino-terminal region of mouse ZP2 polypeptide. Based on animal studies, ZP4 antigen is a promising candidate for the development of a contraceptive vaccine.
