..., we examined fertilization for two different hallmarks of integrin function, namely, dependence of ligand binding on divalent cations and the ability to inhibit ligand binding with RGD peptides. We demonstrate that sperm binding to zona pellucida -free eggs is supported by Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , or Mn 2...
