Unique hyaluronan structure of expanded oocyte-cumulus extracellular matrix in ovarian follicles
In preovulatory follicles, after the endogenous gonadotropin surge, the oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCCs) produce hyaluronan (HA) in a process called “cumulus expansion”. During this process, the heavy chains (HCs) of the serum-derived inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (IαI) family bind covalently to synt...
