Product Name :
ZP4 Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
The mammalian zona pellucida is composed of four major glycoproteins, ZP1, ZP2, ZP3 and ZP4, which may act as sperm receptors. Two forms of porcine ZP4 peptides exist: one consisting of 128 amino acid residues and the other of 133 amino acid residues. These two peptides are identical, except the larger form contains an additional five amino acid sequence at its carboxy-terminal end. Both peptides have two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The smaller peptide shares 39.1% identity with the amino-terminal region of mouse ZP2 polypeptide. Based on results from animal studies, ZP4 antigen is a promising candidate for the development of a contraceptive vaccine. Alternative Name :
Zona pellucida sperm-binding protein 4; Zona pellucida glycoprotein 4; Zp-4; Zona pellucida protein B; Processed zona pellucida sperm-binding protein 4; ZPB Swiss-Prot :
Q12836 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide ZP4. (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS5984 ZP4 pAb.
