| | cpg-2 | Chondroitin proteoglycan-2; Required for polar body extrusion during cytokinesis in embryo development. Affects cortical granule size. Has roles in meiotic chromosome segregation, osmotic barrier function and polarization in conjunction with cpg-2. Binds chitin. (524 aa) |
| | egg-1 | LDL receptor repeat-containing protein egg-1; Probable receptor which is required for the oocyte-to-zygote transition although its exact function is controversial. Redundantly with egg-2, seems to be required for fertilization probably by promoting the interaction or fusion between sperm and oocyte. Conversely, shown to be dispensable for fertilization but required together with egg-2 for the formation of a continuous and cohesive eggshell chitin layer by maintaining a homogenous distribution of chitin synthase chs-1 at the unfertilized oocyte cell membrane. Appears to recruit or maint [...] (551 aa) |
