Target Information

The mammalian zona pellucida consists of four major glycoproteins: ZP1, ZP2, ZP3, and ZP4, which may function as sperm receptors.
Two forms of porcine ZP4 peptides exist: one with 128 amino acids and another with 133 amino acids. The larger form includes an additional five amino acids at the carboxy-terminal end. Both contain 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.
