Oocyte surface proteins EGG-1 and EGG-2 are required for eggshell integrity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Ji Kent Kwah, Shannon C Pfeiffer, Mst Gitika Khanom, Aimee Jaramillo-Lambert

This study shows that EGG-1 and EGG-2 are not required for fertilization in C. elegans but are involved in post-fertilization processes like eggshell integrity and embryo protection.
