Role of phospholipase Cγ at fertilization and during mitosis in sea urchin eggs and embryos
15 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
It is well known that stimulation of egg metabolism after fertilization is due to a rise in intracellular free calcium concentration. In sea urchin eggs, this first calcium signal is followed by other calcium transients that allow progression through mitotic control points of the cell cycle of the early embryo. How sperm induces these calcium transients is still far from being understood. In sea urchin eggs, both...
