Wassarman, Paul M.,

A guide to Zona pellucida domain proteins / Eveline Litscher, Paul Wassarman. - 1 online resource. - Wiley series in protein and peptide science . - Wiley series in protein and peptide science. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book provides a coherent, clear, and uniform presentation of structural, genetic, molecular, and biochemical information available for the zona pellucida domain protein family, which impact pathologies such as infertility, deafness, and cancer. Furthermore it: -Details information about the structure and function of the ZP domain in ZPDC-proteins -Provides illustrations of the organization of ZPDC-proteins, the genes that encode the proteins, and examples of mutations in the ZP domain that cause diseases -Speculates as to the evolution of the ZP domain and potential therapeutics for diseases stemming from ZP domain mutations -Addresses mammalian and non-mammalian systems.
