Role of egg surface glycoconjugate in the fertilization of the rock shrimp Rhynchocinetes typus (Milne-Edwards, 1837) El rol de los glicoconjugados de las cubiertas ovocitarias en la fecundación del camarón de roca Rhynchocinetes typus (Milne-Edwards, 1837)

During first gamete interaction, oligosaccharides on the glycoproteins present in oocyte envelopes of the rock shrimp, Rhynchocinetes typus, play an important role in spermatozoon recognition prior to the onset of penetration. These oligosaccharides have terminal monosaccharides that may be recogniz...
