The E-modulus of the oocyte is a non-destructive measure of zona pellucida hardening
After fertilization, the oocyte-specific metalloproteinase ovastacin is released and cleaves the zona pellucida protein 2 (ZP2), making the zona pellucida impermeable to sperm. Before fertilization, the zona remains permeable because previously released ovastacin is inhibited by fetuin-B. Consequent...
