[HTML][HTML] 2 Molecular basis of mammalian egg activation

RM Schultz, GS Kopf - Current topics in developmental biology, 1995 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary The chapter discusses signal transduction mechanisms in the activation
of mammalian eggs, primarily in the mouse, and explains the sequence of events that
accompanies fertilization in the mouse. This information provides a framework within which
to examine known and proposed signaling mechanisms that regulate egg activation, helps
understand the role of several possible second messengers in egg activation, and helps
describe the sperm–egg interaction that may result in the production of second messengers …
