Knockin’ on Egg’s Door: Maternal Control of Egg Activation That Influences Cortical Granule Exocytosis in Animal Species

3 Sept 2021

Abstract excerpt

Fertilization by multiple sperm leads to lethal chromosomal number abnormalities, failed embryo development, and miscarriage. In some vertebrate and invertebrate eggs, the so-called cortical reaction contributes to their activation and prevents polyspermy during fertilization. This process involves biogenesis, redistribution, and subsequent accumulation of cortical granules (CGs) at the female gamete cortex...
