Also known as: Zp-4
Summary: Predicted to enable acrosin binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of egg coat. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acrosomal vesicle exocytosis; binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; and negative regulation of binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and egg coat. Orthologous to human ZP4 (zona pellucida glycoprotein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
