About This Section

EntrezGene summary for ZAR1:
The female gamete, the oocyte, serves the distinct purpose of transmitting the maternal genome and
other maternal factors critical for postovulation events. Oocytes have diverse functions in
ovarian folliculogenesis, fertilization, and embryogenesis. ZAR1 is an oocyte-specific gene that
appears to function at the oocyte-to-gamete transition (Wu et al., 2003 [PubMed
12539046]).[supplied by OMIM]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ZAR1_HUMAN, Q86SH2
Function: Essential for female fertility. May play a role in the oocyte-to-embryo transition (By
similarity)
