About This Section

EntrezGene summary for ZAN:
This gene encodes a sperm membrane protein that binds the zona pellucida of the egg in a
species-specific manner. The encoded protein may be involved in signaling or gamete recognition.
Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
[provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ZAN_HUMAN, Q9Y493
Function: Binds in a species-specific manner to the zona pellucida of the egg. May be involved in
gamete recognition and/or signaling
