Vitelline Membrane (VM)
- Target
- VM
- Molecular classification
- Extracellular Matrix, Glycoprotein complex
01
Overview
The vitelline membrane is a specialized extracellular layer that surrounds the oocyte (egg cell) in animals. It provides protection, mediates species-specific sperm recognition during fertilization, and contributes to early embryonic development. After fertilization, it transforms into the fertilization membrane, preventing polyspermy.
